Bug Out

This afternoon when I went to retrieve the mail, I found this cute little green bug resting on top of my mailbox:


The katydid was fearless and let me get rather close to take this picture.  It wasn't singing, perhaps because it didn't want to try to compete with the racket of the cicadas (who, by the way, are so loud right now I can hear them in the house with the windows closed while the air conditioner is going).

I haven't seen a katydid in many years, and I'm glad this one stopped by.  It brought a little whimsy to the afternoon and brought a smile to my face.
