Little Katydids

This little katydid is well-camouflaged in the grass. It was only its hopping that alerted me to its presence.

Climbing onto a strand of Black Mondo Grass, the katydid is much more photogenic.

Its out-sized antennae and angular legs make it distinctive.

Even under a leaf, it is recognizable.

A chunkier cousin is climbing here on a coral bell stalk.

Oh dear! Guess what this ferocious-looking little spider is eating!

Weeding in the back yard always seems to be accompanied by some entrancing sights or even a little insect drama - a relief in a way from the human variety.
