  Yes, Ferdy :)
  It's always amazing to me to find the 'true leaf insect' in the wild.
  I do not consider Katydids as Leaf Insects as often time, when I asked guides (if I have to go with one) and tell them about leaf insects, they will says it is very common and then show me Leaf Katydids! :( Posted 8 years ago
