Katydid (Microcentrum rhombifolium), Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site, 2015.
Katydids are named for their call, which sounds like someone is saying "ka - ty - did". You'll find katydids usually eating from the tops of trees and bushes, probably where there are fewer predators and less competition. Adults are most active in summer and fall; however, in water climates like Florida they are able to remain active all year long.
