I spotted this cool creature in my common room a few nights ago, and although I wasn’t sure exactly what it was, after a bit of research I concluded it was probably a Katydid. It’s hard to see the bug clearly in the picture I took , but I included a more clear picture of what these bugs look like. Katydids are mostly nocturnal, and in the daytime, they have a unique defense mechanism to protect them while they rest. In the 2nd picture you may have noticed that the bug kind of looks like a leaf. When Katydids rest in trees they unfold their wings to lay flat, and in doing so they look almost identical to a leaf, so they are left alone by most predators.
