Right on time for spooky season!🎃
This monster still has no common name, so I'll rightfully call it the Behemoth Demon Katydid in honor of it's curved tusk-like mandibles👹

An endemism of the Atlantic Rainforest biome of Southeastern Brazil, 𝘊𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘧. 𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘦𝘴 looks like if a katydid fused with a mantis and then took steroids to enhance itself. Unlike most insects where females are the larger and usually fiercer ones, males of the Behemoth Demon Katydid are notoriously more spiny, bulkier and bigger than the females. They have uniquely evolved to hunt just like a praying mantis, with their thorny front legs acting exactly like a mantis's raptorials, granting them apex predator status among the insect world. Their oversized head in proportion to their body harbors powerful muscles, which paired up with the scissor-like mandibles, are able to easily slice through flesh. A true demon of the insect world🔥
