Katydid
"Katydid" ...oh, no..."Katydidn't!" Here's a little bit of insect trivia: The katydid is named for its mating call, "Katydid!...Katydidn't!'' The call, in most species made by the male only, is produced by rubbing a scraper on one forewing against the toothed edge of the other forewing. So, did Katy or didn't Katy? Only the male katydid may know! This image is COPYRIGHT REGISTERED~~ALL RIGHTS RESERVED~~MCN:CKTH8-3FLE5-UMQBN
