He said it was the first one he's seen here. Our area, the Lewis Clark valley is technically desert due to our elevation. Our weather is similar to parts of New York as the previous commentor so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised to see this unique bug here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886700853255525969.post-72391294377120748232023-09-26T01:31:21.657-05:002023-09-26T01:31:21.657-05:00I found one a couple days ago in central New York!...I found one a couple days ago in central New York! She must have fell from a tree onto the hood of my car and she went on a ride until I realized she wasn’t a leaf! I ended up keeping her. I’d really like to find a male to pair her with so I can raise some from eggs. Took me forever to identify her as a greater angle wing as they are not thought to be this far north but I have already heard MeghanlovesPINKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11050238002733304681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886700853255525969.post-63383769841872786882023-08-24T17:09:16.600-05:002023-08-24T17:09:16.600-05:00I found one for the first time 45 min west of Bost...I found one for the first time 45 min west of Boston Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886700853255525969.post-9176612380893070772023-07-22T17:42:42.925-05:002023-07-22T17:42:42.925-05:00I have just found a female in Outback South Austra...I have just found a female in Outback South Australia.

I will revisit my references to the katydid life cycle....In my experience as a zookeeper at an insectarium, we had great success feeding katydids on foliage from the rose family (that includes blackberry and the like, too). Eventually she will need to find a mate, though? I suppose you could introduce a male and see how it goes.

She was a fourth stage nymph, and we could not find her molt from yesterday. Is it possible that she ate it for the protein? She tripled in size, and we know she is female from her curved ovipositor. You stated that Katydids only go through four stages, but in most of the research I have done they said they go through five Julene Zakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091492260455768008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886700853255525969.post-58563261817155430902020-07-20T21:55:25.533-05:002020-07-20T21:55:25.533-05:00I found one on my small apple tree today in San Di...I found one on my small apple tree today in San Diego, CA.

They are the most incredible leaf-mimics, and their tic-tic-tic songs are easily imitated with a pair of Latin percussion instruments called claves. They and the Oblong-winged Katydids were more abundant than usual in NE Ohio this past year. <br /><br />Thank you SO much for Orthoptera Thursdays, especially during these snow-covered February days.Lisa Rainsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16728287766989599546noreply@blogger.com
