I didn't know about the kadaknath hens! Thank you for the information. The red-and-black insect is a cicada. And I am not sure if Katydids and Long-horned beetles are the same. - Deepa.

So intersting about the black chickens. You must have so much patience to be able to capture those insects so well.
