Kel, they can be a bit tricky to find :) But I am sure yours were qute as well! Bay, thank you for the family suggestion! As always, it is very appreciated! Rieko, there are some resemblance. But the head of yours looks more like a small dragon :)

Ontem eu encontrei um bebê katydid, mas ele não é tão lindo como o seu. :)

No cellulites at all :) Very cute little thing indeed, so many small details in the pattern. It would be very interesting to see the adult version. I hope for an ID-suggestion too...

Perfect colour match with the plant... and look at those legs! I hope someone can help with ID :-)
