slender meadow katydid (Conocephalus fasciatus fasciatus) female at Chipera Prairie IA 653A9880

This slender meadow katydid sure blends in well with all the green and brown grass or sedge stems now in late summer. They like to eat the nutritious ripening seed heads on those mature grasses and sedges. Males have a very soft purring song that can sometimes be heard on a quiet sunny afternoon out in prairie meadows where they live.
