Hi All
Last night while road cruising I came across this Clonia sp. (C. wahlbergi?) Winged Predatory Katydid. I pulled over as I enjoy the attitude these guys have. When I got to it, I noticed that it looked gravid and that it had a broken rear leg.
I picked it up off the road and brought it home as it would probably become prey to some other animal with the broken leg and all, plus I would like to see if she drops some eggs and if I can hatch them.
So what do you bug guys think; will she be okay with the broken leg (as seen in pics)? I have placed a cockroach, grasshopper and a few mealworms in her cage to give her a choice of prey. Let's see if she takes anything.
Enjoy
