Rattler Round-winged Katydid
Oblong-winged Katydid
Greater Angle-wing Katydid
Scudderia Bush Katydids
This section of the guide includes the Common True Katydid,
which is who most people think of as the katydid
Common True Katydid
The Rattler Round-winged Katydid, and the Oblong-winged Katydid are
in the genus Amblychorypha and the Greater Angle-wing is in the genus
Microcentrum. They're also referred to as False Katydids (which probably
pleases the Common True Katydid).
Rattler Round-winged Katydid
The katydids in the genus Scudderia are the bush katydids: the Broad-winged Bush Katydid, Curve-tailed Bush Katydid, Texas Bush Katydid, Fork-tailed Bush Katydid, and the Northern Bush Katydid. They, too, are "false katydids" and are also splendid leaf mimics.
