K is for... Katydid

katydid
Very closely related to grasshoppers and crickets, katydids also make sound by rubbing together their wings. If it is a wingless katydid, it can still make sound, only this time with it's legs. Katydids have very long antennae and can be very hard to find since they are usually only out at night.
