The "Leaf" With Eyes

I have seen one (and only one) of these Katydids in our yard each year for the past five years, but I heard it every night. This summertime visitor happily munched leaves in the large locust tree in our backyard. The tree was removed this year, and I imagine the source of most of the insects in our yard will be gone as well. (Honey Locust trees attract a profusion of aphids, leafhoppers, lacewings, katydids--well any type of sucking or chewing insect that eats plants).

 

Broad-winged Katydid (Microcentrum rhombifolium).
