Tettigoniidae
Katydids hunt aphids, and some tropical species use spikes on their legs to catch insects.
Katydids may be exceedingly loud, but their leaf-like camouflage is an effective layer of defense.
Katydids rub their legs together to produce their trademark sound.
While most Katydids are green, helping them to stay camouflaged, this is a rare pink Katydid of Sabah.
