CAN YOU SEE ME? | ANIMAL CAMOUFLAGE: New species potentially discovered during expedition to Ecuador


The spiny-crested katydid below may be a new species or it “may be a Diacanthodis formidabilis, but the only known specimen of that species was lost after it was documented in 1838 in Brazil.”

This walking-leaf katydid appears to be different from “previously known walking-leaf katydid.”
