I found this guy a day before I found the grasshopper but unlike the grasshopper this katydid jumped off the blossoms after I took a few photographs and I haven't seen it since.

About Me
- John Theberge
- I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

Wow John, they just keep getting better and better! I had no idea that bugs liked these flowers so much! But I'm glad they do...they make for some wonderful images!
Fabulous!
John, that one is perfect! Thank you!
Lots of bug life on one group of flowers!
Wow...great shot! I could see every little detail of its patterns and texture. Those few minutes were obviously long enough! I thought about you yesterday when I was in that butterfly garden....you would have been thrilled (except it was really sunny).
That's a fantastic shot. Growing up, my nickname was Katydid. I think I might have appreciated that more if I had seen a picture like this one.
Excellent - not only the Katydid, but also the detail in the cone - the dark purple is just outstanding!
Cheers, Klaus
Those must be magic flowers. Great photo.
These are so great John!
I don't think this could be any more perfect!
nice of you to drop in the other day. Checked out your old post and wallowed in snow and nostalgia. The loons with their haunting calls and otters. Flora and fauna in the wild and first light is what makes the heart sing.
Thank you for stunning Photos and generour sharing of know-how.
