We had a visitor in our garden. Its leaf-like body was excellent camouflage against our strawberry plants. The katydid, or bush cricket, as it commonly called, is a member of the Tettigoniidae family. Crickets, grasshoppers and weta are in the same family. They have an earhole on their front legs, just below the elbow. Some katydids have antannae 2-3 times the length of their bodies. These help them to navigate in the dark.
