Pterophylla camellifolia (Fabricius, 1775) | |
Pterophylla camellifolia, the common true katydid, is a common North American[1] insect in the family Tettigoniidae ("katydids"), in the order Orthoptera ("grasshoppers, crickets, katydids"). Within the Tettigoniidae, it belongs to the subfamily Pseudophyllinae ("true katydids").[2][1] Other common names include "northern true katydid" and "rough-winged katydid".[3]
The loud, rasping, three-pulsed song of the male of the nominate northern subspecies (“ka-ty-did”) is the source of the vernacular name “katydid” as applied to any tettigoniid.[4]
