I barely saw this big guy. Not only it looks like a leaf, it was also in the shade. C&C are welcome:

What an extraordinary creature. It only appears to have four legs but is obviously an insect. Very nice set.

Nice series, I actually prefer the last "badly composed" image Omri lol. This looks similar to the one that I captured a few months back. They really are quite large!

Wonderful captures Omri.
Great camouflage on this katydid. Does anyone know if these are the same family as bush crickets (as we call them in the UK) ?
