Description

Members of the genus Tettigonia are often mistaken for their grasshopper cousins due to their impressive jumps, but they belong to the family of katydids. These intriguing creatures are distinguished by their long, threadlike antennae, which can be twice the length of their body. They are predominantly nocturnal and are equipped with strong acoustic abilities, serenading the night with their distinctive chirps, produced by the rubbing of their wings. This adept singing is not just for show; it plays a crucial role in their mating rituals.
