  Music Maker

    Katydids belong to the scientific order Orthoptera, which means "straight wing". The male katydid makes music by using its wings. This sound gets louder when it moves its front wings slightly, creating a "mini-speaker". Males can sing in order to attract a mate. Both males and females have good hearing, so they can enjoy the concert. All katydids are good jumpers.
