Scudderia sp. -- Scudder's bush katydid nymph, bedded down for the night in the flower of a lily (Lilium maculatum [?]). Not shown in this view are the several species of ants that have also found this refuge to be congenial. For (temporarily) flightless insects, such cover must have some survival value.

Only perverts do it with nectar (Pervertus scudderia)! What's wrong with you?
