True Katydid
The subfamily Pseudophyllinae contains numerous species in the family Tettigoniidae, the katydids or bush crickets. Sometimes called "true katydids", together with the cricket (insect), crickets of suborder Ensifera, they form part of the insect order (biology), order Orthoptera which also contains grasshoppers. Members of the group are noted for their remarkable camouflage. Many species closely resemble fresh or dried leaves, including veins, various blotches and even bite marks. Systematics The Pseudophyllinae may be subdivided into the following tribe (biology), tribes (the first 17 of which are sometimes grouped into the super-tribes: Pleminiiti and Pseudophylliti) and genera. (retrieved 25 December 2017) Some notable species are also listed here: Aphractini Aut ...[...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tettigoniidae
Insects in the family (biology), 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. Many species are Nocturnality, nocturnal in habit, having strident mating calls and may exhibit mimicry or camouflage, commonly with shapes and colours similar to leaves.[] Etymology The family name Tettigoniidae is derived from the genus ''Tettigonia'', of which the Tettigonia viridissima, great green bush cricket is the type species; it was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. In Latin ''tettigonia'' means a kind of small cicada, leafhopper; it is from the Greek τεττιγόνιον ''tettigonion'', the diminutive of the imitative (onomatopoeic) τέττιξ, ''tettix'', cicada.
