Scudderia
Scudder's Bush Katydids are green insects that love to hide in bushes and grass. They make a special sound that helps them talk to each other, especially at night!
Habitat: Grasslands
The Scudder's Bush Katydids is a bright green insect with a slender, leaf-like body, perfectly camouflaged among foliage. It has very long, thin antennae, often much longer than its body, and large, clear wings that typically extend past its abdomen, distinguishing it from other bush katydids.
