Kadydid in Sweet Acacia tree

[frank]

This beautiful Tettigoniidae better known as a Kadydid or Bush Cricket was photographed in a Sweet Acacia tree.  Its selection of a tree with abundant thorns hindered getting many close up shots.  It is amazing how nature has provided it a body that mimics a leaf.

Nice captures. I love to hear them "sing". They can be difficult to see when they look so much like a leaf.
