With delicate precision, a female leaf katydid (Phyllomimus unicolor) uses her blade-like ovipositor to open a slit in the stem of a wild ginger (Etlingera velutina) where she will insert her eggs. The young, like miniature versions of their mother but without wings, will disperse soon after hatching. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
