Images from Singing Insects of North America. 191pfg, Neoconocephalus triops green female hidden in grass clump

Description:

"Neoconocephalus triops, green female hidden in grass clump. In the caption to this photo on the Singing Insects of North America website, T.J. Walker writes: ""By caging individuals in outdoor cages with transplanted clumps of living and dead grass, J. J. Whitesell discovered that they spent the daylight hours in the posture illustrated above. He found that individuals did not necessarily match their color with the color of the grass clump, but noted that grass clumps were often brown and green."" [In this photograph, the female is head down a little right of center. The right forewing and hind leg are visible.]"
