Science Art caption for the
cover painting:

. . . When a green female
clings with wings closed onto
Eucalyptus leaves (on which it
feeds), it may escape notice.

In this watercolor, once you find
one foot, it’s easy to see the
other five, but it remains
difficult to see the legs. In
addition, the central yellow
stripe matches the central
vein of a Eucalyptus leaf,
making it even easier to
overlook the insect.

If a predator spots it anyway…
