I caught this green monster today. Aren't those eyes wicked looking? According to Google there are katydids and false katydids. I'm not saying which I think this is because someone will surely come along and prove me wrong. Oh and the sounds are not katydid sounds but the closest I could get. This is my first time to participate in Camera Critters. If you'd like to join in visit Misty Dawn.

Dot,
I have always wandered what they looked like,as i have never heard them till we went back E and hubby told me what that noise was. You did a good job capturing this critter.
And welcome to Camera critters i really enjoy it
Super shot Dot!
Yellow alien eyes is what I think.
Those eyes are scarey. Good looking insect though. I don't know false ones from the other ones, but we have those up here too, long gone by now. It's too cold.
cool photo. :) creepy eyes.
welcome to CC...it is fun!
Dot! Nice to see you over here! Welcome.
I never saw a katydid. Pretty.
wow...great macro shot
Mine CC post in HERE. Hope you have time to visit. Thanks.
This is a very good picture of a monster indeed! Very clear and also great macro work.
Gosh, handsome little fella, isn't he? Blends very well with the environment... good shot!
Well Dot, they are all bugs. You have captured this one for all the world to see. I'm sure you will get more information from the bug lovers out there. Pappy
I've only heard katydids and never seen one, to my knowledge anyway. Thanks for posting this!
FABULOUS capture Dot! I have no idea if it is a katy did or not.
Marvellous close up. He is quite alien looking.
Looks huge but without a reference I merely marvel a monster several inches long.
Scary eyes and wow those antennae look menacing too!
welcome to CC, it gets addicted, hope you have fun like I surely do :)
Cool looking critter, Dot!
You did great getting this one.

Dot: You really brought on a great offering for you first, I wonder if Katy did find the first one? Just something to ponder.
Welcome to the meme! That's a great catch, but I do not like bugs. They make me run the other direction.
Rather strange !
I could see a monster movie coming from those eyes alone!
He looks scary but maybe he's not. Nice picture.
ooowweeee
yikes
great shot as usual
I left an award for you at my blog.
The eyes are simply amazing, Dot
what a big monster, very healthy..
I agree with you about those eyes!!
Great close up and I like the sound effects!
Great shot Dot. I think that a katydid because it has long antennas. When I was a kid we lived near the woods and I got so tired of hearing them at night but now I love to hear them.
Good catch! I have no idea what it is -- glad you called it by a name because I wouldn't have known.
Wonderful capture - really detailed! Those buggy eyes are focused on a little snack, I bet.
scary from up close :)! great photo!
Awesome capture Dot!
cool bckground sounds very green sandy
Wow, that is a huge monster! I have never seen anything like it. Nice to see a close up of it since I won't get anywhere near it in person. :)
It looks a little angry - did you disturb his nap or something? hehehe Great close-up capture!
Great shot Dot.
Not sure which species, but that long pointy thing show that it's a she...great for CC
Wow! I love the shot! The grasshopper looks like he's about to jump out of the picture! :)
