| Ken, you're confusing katydids with cicadas. They're related in that they are both insects, but that's about it. Are you pulling my leg (as usual) about mixing up the two totally different critters? Cicadas are the screechers and have the clear wings. Katydids have much more refined, crickety sounds. By the way, the katydid pictured above is a full adult; pretty good disguise, don't you think? As a leaf, I mean.
