Bugland: Summer But A Memory

You don’t see Broadwinged Katydids up close very often, but in late summer you can sure hear them. Their noisy lisps and clicks stretch on for weeks, as they call out from trees and shrubs. As winter approached, they laid their eggs on twigs and small branches all over the neighborhood. Those eggs will hatch in the spring. The young Katydids will grow to maturity late next summer and repeat the symphonic cycle. This Katydid was photographed in Park Hill by Mark Silverstein.
