Pseudophyllus Neriifolius Genuine Framed Grasshopper Specimen

There are grasshoppers, and then there are insects that make you question what a grasshopper even is. Pseudophyllus neriifolius belongs firmly in the second category, a katydid from the Indo-Chinese and Malesian rainforests that has evolved to look exactly like a broad, vivid leaf, right down to the venation, and done it so successfully that it reads less like an insect and more like a piece of surrealist art that found its own body.

Part of the Tettigoniidae family, the true katydids, this species is the kind of specimen that works as hard in a gothic or dark aesthetic interior as it does in a dedicated entomology collection. The camouflage that kept it alive in the canopy is the same thing that makes it extraordinary under glass. Bits & Bugs frame genuine specimens, so what you're getting is the real thing, not a replica, not a print.
