How and Where Can You Find Chestnut short-wing katydid at Different Life Stages
Nymph Chestnut short-wing katydid nymphs are smaller and less vocal than adults, often found in the undergrowth or along the stems of plants. Seek them by carefully examining host plants and searching for signs of feeding or by using a sweep net to capture them in areas with dense vegetation.
Chestnut short-wing katydid sub-adults may start to exhibit some of the characteristics of adults but are still developing. Search them out by looking for intermediate-sized specimens on host plants or listening for early attempts at the species-specific mating calls during warm evenings.
Adult Mature chestnut short-wing katydid can be located by their distinctive mating calls, which are typically produced at night. Conduct searches with a flashlight during the evening or place a light trap out to attract flying adults. During the day, chestnut short-wing katydid may be found camouflaged on tree bark or leaves, so look carefully for their shapes and colors that blend into the environment.
