Here’s a disturbing photo that came across Facebook the other day. And I always thought these katydids seemed like delightful, gentle forest nymphs. Who knew they could be vicious killers. This comes from The Biodiversity Group’s Facebook page, but I couldn’t locate the image on their website, though I didn’t look that hard. They identify the anole as A. princeps but don’t provide any further information.

Neat! Katydids are vicious killers! In Costa Rica I have seen Anolis polylepis and A. limifrons preyed upon by Katydids. But the katydids are not that picky because I have seen them eat tree-frog eggs and various Craugastor spp.
