Description
Katydid's, also sometimes called bush crickets, or leaf bugs, are incredible at camouflaging themselves to ward off predators. Their appearance mimics the natural shape of leaves. They live approximately one year and are nocturnal creatures that are seen typically in late summer or early fall. They can be found all around the world, with the exception of Antarctica, having more than 6000 species worldwide, and approximately 255 species in North America alone. They produce sounds by stridulation, rubbing two parts of their body together, similar to crickets or grasshoppers. While each species has its own song, the nickname katydid was derived from the sound of the common true katydid, which sounds like "katy-did, katy-didn't.

A great capture, Bonny. The Katydid is truly a master of camaflouge with its appearance as a leaf. I remember growing up in Southern Ohio and hearing the Katydids. We would jokingly wonder, "What did Kady do?'" We never got an answer.
