Where do katydids live?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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!

What does cricket chirping tell us about?

It means they are trying to attract a female or they are trying to drive away a male. Crickets also chirp at certain speeds depending the temperature. For example when it's hot they chirp fast, when it gets cold they slow the chirping. Only the males can do this.

Can the 'boatmen' swimming pool bugs survive in a salt water pool?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The salt level in a salt based CHLORINATED swimming pool is about a tenth of the ocean average, so in terms of salinity I do not think the little guys will survive. On the other hand, I did enhanced the CHLORINATED word because the way the salt system works is by "breaking" the salt molecule (Cl + Na) and using the Cl to kill the bacteria - it then recombines back, and the system establish a "loop" of breaking out the Cl of the salt, again to the sanitizing. This means that IF, by any chance, the little Nemo survives (for few hours or days) the low salinity, the Cl will do the rest of the job... soon!

My suggestion: get a nice, salt water aquarium, near the pool... Or add few "plastic" Nemos in!

What are the tiny yellowish bugs that fly around pool water and bite and how do you get rid of them?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Getting bugs out of a pool can bug ya, pun intended. No mention of what type of bug you are talking about. There are two basic types 1-on top of the water and 2-under the water. The type on top of the water can be removed using an algaecide that is a quantanary ammonium compound. This chemical makes the water wetter, sounds crazy but these bugs ride on an air pocket on their belly and this algaecide will take that air pocket away and they will drown in the pool water. If you use a salt generator you don't want to use this chemical use a polymeric algaecide of at least 60%. The under the water bug known as a water bug can be killed by shock treating the pool with Calcium Hypo Chlorite at of at least 65%. You cannot use this product if you are using an ionizer or a non-chlorine based system. you are most likely refering to boatmen. About the only ways to keep them out is to keep your PH balanced and your chlorine level around 4-5.0. There is also a bug out product called t-san made in salt lake city Utah which helps eliminate boatmen and is safe in and around pool & people.

empty out the pool and then refull it with clean water
