My dogs are keeping the katydids down. They both like them (as snacks!), but the pit bull keeps an eye on the catahoula and chases her away from her bug if she doesn't eat it fast enough. (This is so weird. I'm in charge of the dog food, but the pit bull is in charge of the bugs.) I took Poppy and a katydid I caught into the kennel and gave it to her. She was shy at first, looking over her shoulder at Cinnamon outside, then hunkered down and ate it.

Their behavior is reminiscent of the grackles who often follow me when I mow the lawn. The birds will be a couple of rows behind, looking for injured bugs. The dogs were a little ahead of me watching for fleeing green katydids. It was funny to watch.
