Bush Cricket on Garden Croton
Captured a Bush Cricket (Katydid in the US) in the garden. I would be grateful if anyone could ID this particular one. It was perched on a leaf of a Garden Croton (Codiaeum Variegatum) and that is the reason for such a colourful bokeh. Clicked with the Movo EXT-C25 AF Extension Tube (25mm) attached to the EF 300mm F/4L.
Garden Crotons are attractive, low maintenance plants and are valued for their striking foliage. There are several hundred cultivars, selected and bred for their foliage. Depending on the cultivar, the leaves may be ovate to linear, entire to deeply lobed or crinkled, and variegated with green, white, purple, orange, yellow, red or pink. The colour patterns may follow the veins, the margins or be in blotches on the leaf. I have 20 varieties of these growing in my garden, 40 odd plants in all.
