Field Notes
Description:
large, extremely camouflaged katydid, antennae at least 6 in long. the last photo shows where I first saw this
Habitat:
tropical rainforest
Notes:
One of the coolest spots I found in Dominica. It was quite a surprise to see this. I was hiking with a few people on the Boiling Lake trail when one guy stopped and turned around to show me this huge insect that landed on his crotch! It was really cooperative and didn't jump away. Everyone else kept on the trail and I stayed behind to get some photos of this. Same one that is my profile pic right now. Morne Trois Pitons national park.
