Giant Malaysian katydid (Arachnacris Corporalis) - FEMALE

The giant Malaysian katydid is a large green insect that is, on average, about 6 inches long. They have long, thin legs, like most katydids, with the hind legs being longer than the front two pairs of legs. They have long, leaf-like wings that help them stay camouflaged from predators, as they typically reside in trees and don't move very much. As they age, their coloration mimics a leaf, and the tips of their wings become brown to resemble the way that leaves rot. The amount of brown on their wings can be used as a method to determine the age of the katydid, with more brown meaning an older age.
