I encountered this fella lurking just outside my apartment door this morning as I left on a morning shopping venture.
The thing was perched on the door jamb of my apartment door when I returned.

Looks like a katydid to me. Pretty impressive fake leaf wing covers, aren’t they.

Margarita says it’s called an “Esperanza”. Esperanza is “hope” in Spanish… It’s a type of cricket…

Actually, I thought it was a type of Cicada before Margarita told me what it was called here…
