A young horned katydid caught the imagination of the judges in the 1994
British Gas Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. The photographer,
Brian Kenney of Florida, is the runner-up in the Animal Portraits section.
Strolling through a local forest at night, he came across the grasshopper-like
insect when its eyes reflected his flashlight. 鈥淚t seemed to have a lot of
personality;鈥� says Kenney, who had to coax the katydid onto a branch, away
from its camouflage of leaves, before taking the photograph. More than 100 of
the photographs from the competition are on display at the Natural History
Museum in London until February 1995.
