An adult male of balloon-winged katydid (Hexacentrus japonicus, family Tettigoniidae) in captivity feeding on a moist ball of katsuobushi shavings. He is my pet now. Lots of spines along the forelegs indicate that this species is a carnivorous predator. Early-August 2011 in Japan. For more info about katsuobushi, read wikipedia;

The background sounds were not made by him but by birds and cicadas outside.
