The longhorned grasshopper, also known as the katydid, is a fascinating insect that showcases remarkable adaptations and behaviors. In Sumaco National Park, Napo, the Lichen Katydid (Markia hystrix) perfectly blends into its surroundings with its camouflage in lichens. This clever disguise allows it to remain hidden from predators. Meanwhile, in Sark, British, the Great green bush-cricket (Tettigonia viridissima) female demonstrates her maternal instincts by delicately laying eggs. It's a moment of new life being brought into the world. In Yasuni National Park, Orellana, Ecuador, we find the Peacock katydid (Pterochroza ocellata) striking an intimidating defensive posture. Its vibrant colors and spiky appearance serve as warnings to potential threats. Venturing further into Ecuador's wilderness brings us face-to-face with the Spiny devil katydid (Panacanthus cuspidatus). With its menacing spikes and formidable presence, this species commands attention. Moving on to moss-covered forests where nature's artistry thrives; we encounter a Bush cricket / Katydid (Tettigoniidae ) female leaf mimic ovipositing into a branch. The intricate details of her body mimicry are truly astonishing. An unknown Leaf mimic bush cricket or katydid belonging to the Tettigoniidae family showcases its exceptional ability to blend seamlessly among foliage. Nature's mastery of deception is on full display here. Captured against a white background in a mobile field studio is the Spiny predatory katydid (Listroscelis sp). Its sharp spines and predatory stance make for an awe-inspiring sight. Amongst moss-covered landscapes hides another camouflaged marvel - a Bush cricket or katydid from the Tettigoniidae family adorned with spines. Only keen observers can spot this hidden gem.
