I've always loved seeing these guys at the Insectarium back in New Orleans. Maybe I should go bug hunting while I'm in Houston?

What ever happened with these? Are you still breeding them?

I know this thread is old, but I saw an article a little while back that made me think of this thread.

Why aren't people breeding the different color morphs together to create a colorful subspecies and let some go, imagine finding a few of these each year instead of rarely if ever finding them. The oblong winged katydid live in many states.

Birds eat the colored ones.
