Insect Visitor
September 9, 2015
Sorry I’ve been busy starting new students at Bacteria Lab Kenyon.
For the moment: Today my office PC received an unexpected visitor.
No, it’s not a leaf.
How it got here, up on third floor of a building with sealed windows, we have no idea.
Can anyone identify this amazing insect?

Ultraphyte 
Angle-Wing Katydid (I think)
Katydid!
Great job–Katy Did.
Made the day for our entomologist.
Amazing example of evolved mimicry.
I’m more interested in your first question–how DO those giant moths and katydids, etc–get in? Do they grow up after they pass the screen? Do the flatten out and squeeze through cracks? What’s the deal?
Through open doors, like people.
I think Alex is right. I had just come upstairs into my office, and I suspect Katy hitchhiked on my backpack. I’ve acquired ticks that way (not so much fun.)
Could be–but I don’t really go outside often–and they show up pretty regular…
