Can you see me now?

Katydid (click to see larger)

Buenos dias!  Every day there’s something new for me to see here on BCI, an island in the Panama Canal.  Today, all I had to do was look on the outside of my room door (that’s why the background in this photo is the white shiny door) to see this really cool insect called a leaf-mimic katydid.  It would camouflage perfectly if it were sitting on a leaf.  I’m not sure why it decided to hang out on my door. It even has pretend leaf veins. I can’t wait to see what living treasures I will find in the rainforest today!
