Field Notes
Description:
Multi colored katydid nymph with striped antennae. There's green, orange, turquoise, black and white. Unknown which instar this is. Mexican Bush Katydid's were found in the area one month later. This may be one of them.
Habitat:
Mexican Bush Sage in backyard
Notes:
This little one was quite photogenic and even did a little turn for the video!
There's a second video, this one of a baby. Despite it being out of focus, it's a really cute video of a baby Scudder's Bush Katydid Nymph at an earlier instar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzz10t1BXgI
