Angle winged type True Katydid

Description:

The true katydid gets its name because it was the first species to have its call transcribed. They inhabit deciduous forests from Massachusetts to Florida and west to Texas and Kansas and northeast to Ontario. Their antennae is longer and stiffer that other katydids. Females lay one generation of eggs per year in the crevices of bark and soft plant tissue. If jostles or startled, they squawk loudly, raise its forewings, leap from their perch and flutter downward. Once they reach the ground, they walk to the nearest tree and climb the tree trunk.
