A large angle-wing katydid (Microcentrum rhombifolium)
These spectacular insects are, in my experience, hard to see. I've seen zero in 2014 and one that I can remember in my life. However, Andrew and I just heard 30 or 40 of them in the course of a 25-minute, 1.5-mile walk from downtown Lafayette, Boulder County, and then around Waneka Lake, and then to our house, this Sunday evening, Oct. 19. Once you know this katydid's song, you realize that it's abundant. It sounds like this:

On a bird note, we heard a Gray Catbird at Greenlee Preserve. Getting a bit late for that species.
