This Katydid was found in the High Tech High Native Plant Garden. The insect was staying still in the Deerweed for most of the time of photographing it. Near the end, he was moving more by going deeper into the Deerweed, and blending in with his surroundings. This observation is apart of the High Tech High Insects of San Diego Field Guide.
