Small Leaf Katydid.



Katydids are all over the world. Sometimes they look like grasshoppers, sometimes they look like ants, and sometimes they look like bees. This one looks like a leaf! Mimicry is their thing.
As you can see, this species not only looks like a decaying leaf, but it can have different shapes of leaves for its body, too! As I'm sure you can guess, they hide well in..... water! (kidding.)

I'm sure I'll post more of these in the future -- some of them are crazy.
