Genus Microcentrum
4 mm (body length)
Found this tiny Katydid nymph and one other on my yellow roses. I can't believe how long their antennae are. If I showed
them, this photo would take up the whole page. You can see the length in the bottom photo. © Carol Davis 6-27-2010
This is the first Angle-wing Katydid nymph I had ever seen. It was very cooperative since it had never seen a human
before--curiosity seems to rule in the very young. Look at the very long antennae. If you don't have a macro lens to
take insect photographs, you can always get a lighted magnifier to assist in seeing the wonders of the insect world.
