katydid
Insects in the family Tettigoniidae are commonly called katydids (especially in North America), or bush crickets. They have previously been known as "long-horned grasshoppers". More than 8,000 species are known. Part of the suborder Ensifera, the Tettigoniidae are the only extant (living) family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea. They are primarily nocturnal in habit with strident mating calls. Many species exhibit mimicry and camouflage, commonly with shapes and colors similar to leaves.

katydid
A katydid is a type of insect that belongs to the family Tettigoniidae, characterized by their elongated bodies and usually green color, which they use as camouflage among plant leaves. They are known for their loud and distinct night-time mating call, largely produced by the males rubbing their wings together. Some people refer to them as long-horned grasshoppers due to their similar appearance, despite being more closely related to crickets.
