Katydid
Alongside a sunny trail in Mt. Kenya Forest, Kirinyaga, Kenya, Africa. 2 June 2017. The male is shown enlarged at right and the female (poor focus) below.
The males and females of some insects species look very different and have confused taxonomists attempting to delineate the species while not assigning separate names to members of the opposite sex. Most katydids are herbivores using their sharp and powerful mandibles to chew leaves.
