Angular-Winged Katydid
Microcentrum retinerve
Adult angular-winged katydids inhabit shrubs, woodland edges, gardens, and other leafy vegetation across much of eastern North America. They feed chiefly on leaves and may also take soft plant material, while their green, leaflike bodies help them vanish among foliage. Males produce a rasping song by rubbing their forewings together, usually from elevated vegetation after dark. The broad, angular wings allow adults to flutter or fly away when disturbed.
