Katydid Leaf Colouring Sheet

Leaf-shaped wings and very long antennae make this katydid stand out on its twig. A nearby leaf gives you a simple shape to compare with the insect's folded wings. Try leafy green for the wings and body, yellow-green near the edges and soft brown for the twig. Use a slightly darker green on the real leaf so both shapes remain visible. Follow the wing veins with light strokes from the middle outwards. Colour the long antennae slowly with a pencil tip, then find the large folded back legs among the finer walking legs. Choose your own colours too, and enjoy bringing this little insect scene to life!
