A leaf bug flew into my room yesterday. I’ve already named him Steve. Is there anything I could keep in the room so he can eat and not die?

    Are you talking about one of these guys?

    If so, they suck the juice out of live plants. Probably better to catch it and put it outside though

      One of these guys. I got him in this bread pan with that big ass leaf acting like a moat in shallow water. I threw a bunch of random leaves I found from outside including clover. But I have no idea if he’s gonna eat any of that.

      EDIT: Oh shit he’s eating the big ass leaf now

        That’s a katydid, related to grasshoppers. It’ll probably like eating leaves, but their diets can be varied, and who knows what kind of plants it prefers/needs.

          My first guess would be that it eats leaves that it blends in with well. But by the look of this little one that could be just about anything

    How about put the fucking bug back outside where it has everything it needs to live without some idiot thinking its a pet.
