∙ 14y agoThe family Tettigoniidae, known in American English as katydids and in British English as bush-crickets, contains more than 6,400 species. It is part of the suborder Ensifera and the only family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea. They are also known as long-horned grasshoppers, although they are more closely related to crickets than to grasshoppers. Many tettigoniids exhibit mimicry and camouflage, commonly with shapes and colors similar to leaves. Tettigoniids may be distinguished from grasshoppers by the length of their filamentous antennae, which may exceed their own body length, while grasshoppers' antennae are always relatively short and thickened. The males of tettigoniids have sound-producing organs (via stridulation) located on the hind angles of their front wings. In some species females are also capable of stridulation. There are about 255 species in North America, but the majority of species live in the tropical regions of the world. The diet of tettigoniids includes leaves, flowers, bark, and seeds, but many species are exclusively predatory, feeding on other insects, snails or even small vertebrates such as snakes and lizards. Some are also considered pests by commercial crop growers and are sprayed to limit growth. Large tettigoniids can inflict a painful bite or pinch if handled but seldom break the skin. The males provide a nuptial gift for the females in the form of a spermatophylax, a nutritious body produced with the males' ejaculate.[1] The eggs of tettigoniids are typically oval shaped and laid in rows on the host plant.

Where do katydids live?
Katydids live everywhere. Some look like leafs such as the greater angle-winged katydid and others look like grasshoppers such as the common meadow katydid. Katydids eat leaves and grass, so look in low hanging trees or meadows or fields where the grass is kind of tall. Lightly drag your feet in the grass. If you are wanting to catch one, bring a jar with holes in the top, or some other container where it can breathe. Feed the katydid green grass. Don't give it too much, just several pieces. If the katydid eats all of it or the grass dies, just get some more. Hope that helped!
