@beeper, do you think katydids have been in California for years, and you just haven't seen them? I read that they will eat crop plants. I hope this isn't the start of a new pest invasion for SoCal.
But, yeah, yours is pretty cute.

I have no idea, but I take many pictures of praying mantis in the rose garden, so I am pretty aware of whats there, and this is the first one I have seen, will have to look around the rest of the ranch.

My cats love to eat them. Can't believe this is your first! Pretty, aren't they? I agree with Bay...should enter that as the POW.

thanks, I did .

thanks, I did.

Wow, what an amazing specimen! It is the first time I hear about katydid but I need to admit that it looks pretty cool. I will be looking out for them! Hope I will notice one
