Скачать или смотреть Leaf-mimic Katydid

The Leaf-mimic Katydid (insect) is not well described and can come in different color schemes as you will see in the video. The first Katydid is mimicking a dying leaf that is changing from a green/yellow to brown coloration. You can even see this color scheme in the leg of the Katydid, where the upper part is greenish and the lower pare is brown.

One remarkable feature of these Kaytdids is the detail with which they mimic leaves with well developed "veins." Both of these are the same genus, (Mimetica spp.). In general, little is known of the life history of Mimetica. They are night fliers and are restricted to the Caribbean slopes up to 3,900 feet.
