(I decided to add a little more info) The katydid is reminiscent of Kermit the frog in particular and frogs in general, hence my title. The photo was taken in my backyard using a borrowed Canon EOS Rebel T3 with a standard zoom lens. I cropped to emphasize the katydid's face, legs and antennae, and increased the saturation a few notches.
