Katydid nymph (likely a conehead katydid)

Grassy fields, meadows, roadside vegetation, and gardens, especially where tall grasses are abundant.

Primarily grasses and other vegetation, though some katydids also eat small insects or pollen.

Usually nocturnal and highly camouflaged; nymphs molt several times before becoming winged adults. They jump when disturbed and males produce species-specific songs by rubbing their wings.

Harmless to people and pets. It contributes to food webs and may occasionally nibble garden plants, but significant crop damage is uncommon.
