Hidden in plain sight. 👀

This tiny katydid nymph was found in an urban garden in Chicago, camouflaged so well it's easy to walk right past it. At this stage, it doesn't have fully developed wings yet, but it already blends in almost perfectly with the leaves around it.

Nature never fails to surprise us!

🐝 As National Pollinator Month comes to a close, remember that supporting pollinators doesn't require a perfect garden or a large yard.

Planting pollinator-friendly flowers, providing blooms throughout the season, reducing pesticide use when possible, and leaving small habitat areas can all help support bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, moths, and other important pollinators.

Small actions, repeated by many people, can make a big difference.

Thank you for celebrating National Pollinator Month with us. 🌸
