Bug of the Day

By far the teeniest katydid nymph I’ve ever seen! Body size no more than 1cm long. (bush katydid, Scudderia sp.)

Found this giant bush katydid (probably Northern Bush Katydid, Scudderia septentrionalis) on my garage door the other night. There must be a ton of these out in the woods, based on the chorus of chirps we're hearing every night.
