Saturday squirrel...

Katy who?

... interrupted. We're taking a break from our furry friends this Saturday to bring you something different. Yes, instead of squirrels, we're going to showcase you something Nebraskan. A pelican? Well, we would, but we were unable to take a picture before it flew away. It's true! Pelican are HERE. A bison? Well, again, we would, but we were unable to get a picture as the courage couldn't be mustered. They are DANGEROUS. Again, it's true. So, what can we showcase? This unique, green insect. A grasshopper? Well, kinda of... a katydid, or brush cricket. Living in the long grasses of the Great Plains, katydids are all about. The sprightly katydid looks like a green leaf and has a chirp like no other. You see, katydids get their name from the sound they make. Their repetitive clicks and calls sounded like someone saying, "Ka-ty-did." On seeing this katydid, Fr. Ralph said, "I know Nebraska isn't for everyone, but if you were HERE, then you too could hear them!"
