Huge Green Bug
Posted by Rachel on June 30, 2008
This morning Mellow was going crazy at the window, when I looked I saw this big green bug that is about three inches long and its antea are almost five inches long! Thankfullt it was on the outside of the window!
I think its a kind of grass hopper, Its the first time I have seen one of this colour, and so distinctly shaped like a leaf, here are 3 pictures of it, including one with Mellow in it, so you get an idea of the size…
If you click and zoom in on the picture the details are kinda cool.

This is a True Katydid (Pterophylla camellifola). Nice photos!

Wow.. So I came across this site searching for “huge green bug,” because that’s just what I saw! I was driving to work this morning and as I was parking I saw something HUGE climbing up my windshield on the driver’s side… I was so scared I exited the car through the passenger door. This thing was huge.. I wanted to take a picture but I was scared to get too close for fear that it would jump on me. Anyways, thanks for solving my curiosity!
