It is by cutting, grinding and immersing that a katydid drinks water.

Specifically, a katydid (Tettigoniidae family) has mandibulate mouthparts. The hardened, large, pincher-like, teeth-lined pair of mandibles lets the katydid cut surfaces, grind/pulverize edible substances, and "soak" its sideways-moving "jaws" in liquids. Water will be obtained either by way of the moisture within food or through the water on the surface of something that is being broken down or chewed.
