Children and easily frightened people, avoid this one
Note the front legs with a series of "spines" to better grab its prey

Predatory Katydid from Brazilian Savannah by Jose, on Flickr


Both old slides. An unusual predatory katydid, active during the night both at the ground and the vegetation. The bottom image shows a "normal (herbivore)" katydid being eaten by this predator.

Top: taken with F3HP + Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 ai-s + flash, hand held. Ektachrome EBII ISO 100 from December 1998.
Digital dupe by D7200 + 20mm extension tube + Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 ai-s @f/5.6 + BR2A&BR3 rings + ES1 slide copy device. This combo makes a ~1:1 repro of the original slide.

Bottom: taken with F90x + TC201 + Micro-Nikkor 60/2.8D AF (= 120/5.6 MF Micro) + SB 28 flash hand held. Fujichrome RDPIII ISO 100 from November 2000, Prata-MG, Brazilian savannah.
I know I know this is breaking the law but consider the TC201 was behind the lens and I used it manual focusing (body moving front-back), and I wished to show this montage with two takes of this monster katydid. Any banning ( 1 week, 1 month) from the master will be accepted without contestation.
