Red Eyed Devil
Dear Curious,
We are thrilled to post your image of a predatory Katydid commonly called a Red Eyed Devil, Neobarrettia spinosa. According to BugGuide it is: “Voraciously omnivorous!” Though the Red Eyed Devil is not dangerous to humans, they do have powerful mandibles and they might deliver a painful bite if carelessly handled.
thank you very much for your help! how interesting!! voraciously omnivorous indeed! J
