This Scudder’s Bush Katydid is one of the few larger insects at home now. It was hanging out in the butterfly bush last weekend.
When I approached it, it turned turned its back on me…
Then it hung upside down with its back towards me…
Then it hung upside down...
I’m not sure if this was a Fork-tailed Bush Katydid (Scudderia furcata) or a Southeastern Bush Katydid (Scudderia cuneata). These photos don’t have the detail to identify it conclusively.

Katydids always fascinate me. Great photos of a beautiful critter. And funny with the back turning and all. Delightful!
