Southern sickle bush-cricket on dry flower

I don't know if this little friend was doing his daily higiene, liking his paw, or if he was getting ready to have the fly in the bottom for breakfast ^_^

Unlikely that it would target the fly, katydids mostly eat plant material. They do sometimes eat dead insects and insect eggs. There's a few species actively hunting insects, but most of those are in the tropics. Posted 3 years ago

  Thanks for the clarification, I suspected that it wouldn't eat the fly, but now I'm sure ;-) Posted 3 years ago
