Katydid (bush-cricket)

Vegetation in forests, grasslands, gardens, and shrublands; many species live among leaves and grasses.

Mostly leaves, flowers, seeds, and other plant material; some species also eat insects.

Long antennae and enlarged hind legs are typical. Many males produce calls by rubbing their wings together, and females lay eggs in plant tissue or soil.

Generally harmless to people. They contribute to food webs, though some species can damage crops or garden plants.
