Mediterranean Katydid

Phaneroptera nana

The Mediterranean Katydid is a green insect that loves to hide in leaves. It makes a soft chirping sound, especially at night, which is fun to hear when you're outside.

生息地: Forests

外見

The Mediterranean Katydid is a slender, bright green insect, often blending perfectly with leaves. It has very long, thin antennae, much longer than its body, and delicate, veined wings that mimic foliage. Females have a distinct upward-curving, sword-like ovipositor at their rear.
