Q is for Quiver

An insect that quivers is the Katydid. Katydids are in the same family as grasshoppers, but they are very special because many Katydids are made to look like leaves so that they can blend into their surroundings and hide from preditors. Sometimes the Katydids will trick other bugs into thinking they are leaves by making their wings quiver like real leaves would do in the wind.
