The katydids are mostly
large, green with long antennae and large wings and are capable of
flight. They are all phytophagous (a fancy word for herbivorous).
There are approximately 245 species of Tettigoniidae in North
America. Live adult and nymph katydids photographed at
Winfield Mounds Forest Preserve, DuPage County IL. It has come
to our attention this critter is often misspelled as catadid,
so we include the word here so that misspellers may find us, too.
