I still have a few Hydrangea that are blooming and beautiful! I went out to take a photograph of the flower the other day when I noticed a large green insect on top of it. After a little research, I learned it was a Bush Katydid. I was so surprised that they were still around this time of the year.
Pretty cool, don’t you think?
To an Insect
I love to hear thine earnest voice,
Wherever thou art hid,
Thou testy little dogmatist,
Thou pretty Katydid!
Thou mindest me of gentlefolks,–
Old gentlefolks are they,–
Thou say’st an undisputed thing
In such a solemn way…
Oliver Wendell Holmes
