bush-cricket

The Large Saw-tailed Bush-cricket (Polysarcus denticauda) is one of the largest katydids in Europe, inhabiting mountain long-grass meadows with lush vegetation, where the loud, high-pitched stridulation of its males is an indispensable part of the soundscape. The female is feeding in the inflorescence of Broad-leaved Giant Fennel (Lophosciadium galbaniferum). The photo was taken in July on Mount Slivnica in the karstic region of Slovenia. In the background, Cerknica Lake, one of the largest intermittent lakes in Europe, is visible. Photo by Tomi Trilar, Slovenian Museum of Natural History (LifeWatch Slovenia).
