"Instead of the typical "Katy-did" song, the straight-lanced meadow katydid produces a faint, high-pitched, continuous buzzing or purring sound.
Found in dry grasslands, pastures, and along roadsides, they are common across the United States (from AZ to GA and north to MT and NY), as well as in Mexico and Canada."

"The straight-lanced meadow katydid. I'm convinced they like to pose for the camera."

This rather fantastic Black-footed Gondwanan Katydid (Metholce nigritarsis) was a recent visitor to our Perth Hills moth light.

These amazing Katydids have been recorded in all states around Australia except the NT.

Accessible description (refined with context):
A sharply focused macro image shows a small, leaf-green insect perched on the disk of a bright yellow daisy. Its body is slim and slightly translucent, with very long antennae extending forward like fine wires. The hind legs angle upward in a poised stance. A tiny droplet hangs beneath its mouth, glistening. The flower fills most of the frame, while the background fades to deep shadow, making the insect stand out vividly.

A bush katydid nymph, genus Scudderia, most plausibly the Common Bush Katydid.

	Seasonality: Scudderia nymphs are abundant in the Midwest in mid-summer (June–August).
	Morphology: Slender body, extremely long antennae, and undeveloped wing pads match early–mid instar bush katydids.
	Habitat behavior: They frequently rest on flowers and foliage, including garden composites like daisies.

A #Katydid nymph- not to be confused with a grasshopper. They make noise and hear from completely different parts of their body. Who knew? Katy did, Obviously!Oye.

Some of my favorite Orthoptera portaits I've taken in recent years. Katydids along with mantids have to be some of the most photogenic of all the insects. #katydid #grasshopper #cricket #insect #macro #nature #wildlife #bugsky #photography

A photo of a big green katydid perched upon a plastic cup. It is missing one of its hind  legs and has long wings folded over its back.

One of my favorite photos from last year- a male Tettigonia viridissima, great green bush cricket.

The photo came out so well I'm so happy with it, you can see all the little details on the wings and abdomen. :D

Never posted this here but I got to handle this huge katydid at the fair.

I believe the species was Siliquofera grandis but I don't remember.

Big green buge :)

a close-up of a green angle-winged katydid resting on a dark, reddish-purple plant with long, pointed leaves. the insect displays remarkable camouflage, with its body and large wings perfectly mimicking the shape, color, and veining of a green leaf, which is a defense mechanism.

A small katydid nymph with very long antennas and long hind legs, resting on a pillar. The body is black with many bright blue-green spots. Some blue-green spots also appear on the legs.

The lovely looking nymph of a Leaf Katydid, Scambophyllum sanguinolentum, spotted at Rifle Range Nature Park, Singapore on 21 Dec 2025. By contrast, the adult is mostly green.

Oblong-winged katydid = A+ sound.

How interesting! I just looked this up - I hadn't realised that it was a #mutation and had just presumed they changed colours to fit in with their surroundings (i.e. pink flowers), as some of the spiders do in the UK. Thank you for sharing! #katydid
