Just happened to see this truncated katydid (Paracyrtophyllus robustus), clinging to the outside of our house. Photo op, I thought. So off I go for the camera. Upon returning, I saw that the poor thing was missing two legs. Hmm, I really should move it or another bird's gonna attack it. So I reached up to gently move it, and it screamed at me! Startled, I jumped back, and the katydid fell to the ground. Bad me! So I got a small dustpan and scooped it up. Then I carried it over to our turk's cap and slid it off onto a bright green leaf. The katydid blended in perfectly.Good luck, friend!
