Images from Singing Insects of North America. 191pmbh, Neoconocephalus triops brown male hidden in grass clump

Description:

"Neoconocephalus triops, brown male 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 male is head down at the center of the upper half of the picture. The forewings and extended hind legs are visible in dorsal view.]"
