Latest Bug Invasion

Marlene Kindred

Hi there Garden Junkers~

Today was a gorgeous day and DH was feeling like he needed to create a new bug for our collection. So, we'd like to introduce Katie, the katydid. Made out of a monkey wrench, hedge clipper blades for wings, scythe blades and various metal for antennae, etc.

Very "real"looking! I had an invasion on my orange tree few years back. Couldn't figure out what the clicking sound was until 1 of them fell on my shirt & I could see it. They blend in so well with the leaves. DH did a great job on him! Jan

That is some neat junk you put together to make that ingenious interpretation of a Katydid. Another winner.
