Costa Rican Katydid

Range:	Costa Rica (in Central America)
Habitat:	Forests
Conservation Status:	Not listed by IUCN
Scientific Name:	Ancistrocercus circumdatus

Except for the pale-blue markings on their face, these katydids blend in well with their forest surroundings. This camouflage comes in handy, especially because males often call attention to themselves with their loud clicking sounds.
