KATYCHOS are insects related to the cricket family. They are
sometimes called long-horned grasshoppers due to their unusually long antennae
winch may sometimes exceed their body length. The Insects live In bushes and
trees and are powerful jumpers. Although many species do not fly. they Butter
their wings while taking long leaps. Many katydids have wings that look like
leaves. Others that are pink or brown too display remarkable camouflage skills
to avoid predators. Katydids are known to
reproduce frequently and some species are considered agricultural pests. The
name katydid is believed to have originated from its calls which sound like the
words 'katy did'. The insect is found in tropical regions of the world.
