Katydid

Katydid eye taken at something like 7.5:1 and cropped. Pretty neat detail on the pseudopupil (the black spot isn't a pupil and isn't a pigment, some cells show up black because they are aligned with my camera lens so you see into the eye instead of seeing the pigmented wall of the lens).

 

I was super stoked to find a katydid. I can't remember ever seeing one before.
