      Interestingly for something as common and widespread there's not a great deal of information out there about this guy. They do appear to develop coloration to match the plants they live on - which she (I believe) certainly seems to bear out. Gotta say I love the crazy 1/2 pink eyes. Posted 10 years ago

        Yeah, zoology still has to enter the digital age. As soon as you go off the path of popular species, stuff is very poorly described on the web even only described in printed books, often region specific too. They really do have amazing eyes now that you say it. Posted 10 years ago
