Katydid (Bush Cricket)

Found globally in temperate and tropical regions, typically inhabiting tall grass, shrubs, and tree canopies for camouflage.

Primarily herbivorous, feeding on leaves, flowers, and stems, though some species are predatory and eat other small insects.

Mainly nocturnal; they are famous for their leaf-like camouflage and the loud 'singing' sounds produced by males rubbing their wings together (stridulation) to attract mates.

Generally harmless to humans and beneficial as a food source for birds and small mammals; some species can be minor agricultural pests if population levels are high.
