Description
Well, this is officially the first insect macro taken at my new home. After my shots of the bubbles in the spa (my last post) I wandered about the yard and spotted this handsome fellow on a small plant the past owners had planted.
A Spotted Bush Katydid Nymph. I have seen these before (even think I have another shot of one in my gallery long ago) but, I have only seen them extremely small. This looks by my guess to have gone through a couple more molts than those I have seen before. About the length of a thumbnail (not counting those crazy long antennae).
Such attractive insects. It will grow to about 2 inches or more in length and should be mostly green, though it will likely keep its piercing red eyes.
Thanks for looking and any comments you want to leave.

Very nice shot
Good on you for knowing the critters that you are photographing. I think your knowledge of their biology is helping to make you such a natural insect photographer. It really helps to know your subject.
A lovely insect.
