Common True Katydid
Pterophylla camellifolia
Adults inhabit the leafy canopy and shrubs of eastern North American deciduous forests. They feed mostly on leaves, flowers, and fruit, and may occasionally eat small insects. Males produce the familiar loud "katy-did" song by rubbing their forewings together, while both sexes resemble green leaves in shape and color.
