chorus from the wings
katy-did-she-didn’t-she-did
green big bug singing
*
kirigirisu
serenading camouflaged
it just ain’t cricket
*
broadcast from bushes
nature’s night club naughtiness
now everyone knows

Very clever post about the amazing green Katydid. They’re from the Amazon Jungle right?

Apparently they’re found across the globe except the poles.. and yes. Lots in the Amazon. All this I read up just yesterday 😄 Thanks for writing in. Glad you enjoyed it

I’ve some on my silver maples. Some look like they have large green sails… but I think they only sing at night?
Fun verse for this bright green bug 🙂

Thank you for taking time to read and write in.
Apparently they’re nocturnal…and it’s so good to know you live among silver maples…wow
Note – my academic knowlege on the bug is limited to those syllables 😄

I’ve never been afraid of bugs. I was a Tom-boy. And raised two sons 😉
I’ve got silver maples (not the syrup maple tree), various pines, other hardwoods, and some bird berry trees. And my old willow down by the creek 🙂

😍 I can imagine your loving your space. I live among lots of mango trees and parakeets and squirrels and a bunch of noisy peacocks …and yeah…that’s grace

I was visiting St. Augustine in Fl and the private park where the ‘Fountain of Youth’ is located had peacocks – colorful ones and a pair of white ones too!

Loved it. I remember, at least once, walking in the veld, at dusk. Heard a cacophony and traced it to a katydid which fell silent as I drew near. His/her need was so great it started up again never mind the intruder on its private business! Did laugh. I live in South Africa, so yes, they’re pretty global.

Imagine it’s not even their voice and it could be just the one making such a racket.
