Giant Hooded Katydid Siliquofera grandis

The Giant Hooded Katydid, the only species in its genus, is native to tropical forests of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and northern Australia.

Like other Katydids, they are camouflaged as a leaf, but can fly and the body, when revealed, looks cricket-like (the female above has an ovipositor). The Giant Hooded is one of the largest with a wingspan of up to 27cm.

They eat leaves. (This one above centre has lost a front leg.)
