Visual description
A small green insect with long thread-like antennae clings to the stamens of an orange and red flower. Its body shows faint striping and long slender legs. Bright yellow pollen coats the flower's anthers around it, with the deep orange and red petals blurred in the background.
Have you ever wondered just how many fascinating insects are around us, all the time, everywhere? This one turned up on a flower, a katydid nymph by the look of it, easy to miss if you're not looking closely.
