Pterophylla camellifolia, the common true katydid, is a common North American insect in the family Tettigoniidae (katydids). Within the Tettigoniidae, it belongs to the subfamily Pseudophyllinae (true katydids). Other common names include northern true katydid and rough-winged katydid.[1][2][3]
The loud, rasping, three-pulsed song, rendered "ka-ty-did", of the male of the nominate northern subspecies is the source of the vernacular name "katydid” as applied to any tettigoniid.[4] It is a nearly flightless species that, in contrast with other katydids, often walks, runs, or hops rather than leaping or flying.[5] It lives in the canopy of deciduous trees, where it feeds on the foliage.[4][5] It can reach up to 50 mm (2 in) in length.[4]
