This moss-mimicking katydid was filmed in the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador. During the day they usually hide in moss to escape hungry predators. In addition, numerous spines make them less appetizing. The red spot on the back of this katydid is a parasitic mite. These nocturnal grasshoppers use their long antennae to feel, as well as smell, the environment around them.
