The Katydid
Quiet day wonder
Connecting darkness of night
Earth’s mystery leaf

Christine, I love how you connected the bug and how he looks like a leaf. I had to look the katydid up. Your descriptions are spot on! ❤

Wow I now know what this insect is! I noticed one near my car whippers as I was driving at 65 mph. He held on for 2 miles to the store and back another 2 back home. I took a photo of him but hadn’t got around to finding out what kind of bug he was. I wanted to post him for one of my eye view photos. Now I’ve read up on them and learned something new. 🙂 and your haikai is nice, they are noise here at night, I mistook them for cisadas’
