![20180716_220753.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV82ukjgZYSBJ3SETCfCfghd4yr6Vktaqhin7VcprJY8K/20180716_220753.jpg) (All photos taken by @paradigm42) I was checking on my houseplants when I noticed that I had a little visiter! My Katydid friend somehow found her way to my (struggling at the moment but coming back), miniture rose plant. ![20180716_221454.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcSzs89kSeQsxFHx64emH9318wSbooKidGdKQF9iNcrJe/20180716_221454.jpg) Naturally I could not pass up the opportunity to get out my macro lens and take some photos before taking it back outside where she can thrive. (I think that it is indeed a female, (though not a fully mature one), through some classification photos on the handy site listed at the end of the post.) ![20180716_221011.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZz4bvaYv179MnCFJFqnquAKMiyFZ9jmhby6yABJk2UnU/20180716_221011.jpg) This type of Katydid thrives throughout the US and most of North America. It mainly lives in woodland area but can be found anywhere there is foliage, various shrubs and plant life. ![20180716_192228.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbLidWuRvM9LcoM6vXWYhYdSprLQX857gBNUmZJg1KomH/20180716_192228.jpg) If you look closely at the the abdomen, you can see the hook like end that is its namesake. ![20180717_122150.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPADAJ4APupndLP7BS3tDpJbJoK4CwiEtDpkXW9wNcHFi/20180717_122150.jpg) Various types of leaves and foliage are their main diet though females will consume flower seeds as well. Farmers concider them pests as they can damage crops. ![20180716_221128.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVFjpmUaTUM4inj3JT41D8Xi9FrDkoa3qEtLthiLzDNcG/20180716_221128.jpg) Fork Tailed Bush Katydids mature generally during the summer. Females will lay eggs as they fully mature in a line along a leaf where they will stay until they hatch next spring.
