Katydid What??

[DigitalScape]

This katydid (I think I got the ID correct) was eating my flowers - we worked out a deal of greens for photos   All C&C is welcomed and appreciated.  The image EXIF data should be embedded.

Wow, that's about the brightest chartreuse (sp?) green in a photo that I've ever seen.  John, I like when you back off the shutter a bit to get a little BG exposure   so #3 is my favorite here.

Thanks for posting!

All three had some level of flash used.  The third image has the sun shinning on my fence about 4 feet away from the katydid giving me the nice background.  the Other two images I was shooting into the shadows.
 
The bug was a very brilliant green - I am surprised that this is not a survival problem for the critter (kind of wish that there were a few more predators around for these guys - they can much through a flower bed pretty quickly)

If I look at these very often, I'll have to get my shades out.   Nice ones, John.
