Glad you liked it. I thought "katydid" but I know very little about insects. I think this is the first year I've noticed these guys at our place - we moved here about 9-1/2 years ago. Especially in these numbers anyway.
One of these days I might get one in better focus... I tend to be a bit lazy with handholding my macro lens. But it was a bit windy yesterday so I'll blame subject movement.
