Description

Katydids are among the most commonly seen Australian insects.

They range in size from about 5 mm to well over 90 mm and occur in many habitats all over Australia.

Katydids are masters of deception, imitating twigs, bark, leaves and stems, as well as other insects.

A few are brightly coloured and are distasteful to predators.

They continue to be research subjects in many university curricula, where students study their behaviour, acoustical physiology and ecology. A Guide to the Katydids of Australia explores this diverse group of insects from the family Tettigoniidae, which comprises more than 1000 species in Australia, including Norfolk and Lord Howe islands.

It highlights their relationships to plants, humans and the environment, and includes colour photographs of many species. 2011 Whitley Award Commendation for Field Guide.
