Katydid

Apparently our green friend is a katydid, pterophylla camellifolia. He was making his way across our back porch on Saturday late evening so being good parents, wanting to teach Jay, we caught him and put him in a jar for the following morning when we let him go on the front porch and followed his progress for a short while as we did our David Bellamy and Richard Attenborough bit, suitably oohing and aahing. It was a darn site more interesting than the subsequent driving I then watched - still wrapped up in dispair for Alonso and Fisi's disastrous performance. Schumacher now has an extremely viable chance of winning the championship and Renault are on precarious ground for the Constructors' Cup...
