In Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia's Danum Valley Conservation Area, you can spot the Oblong-Winged Katydid (Amblycorypha oblongifolia), showcasing its vibrant green morph and male characteristics. Traveling to Peru's Tambopata Nature Reserve in the Madre de Dios Region unveils another stunning species of katydid. Here, you'll find a captivating male specimen with its green coloration. Costa Rica in Central America is home to captive katydids from the Tettigoniidae family. These creatures offer an intriguing sight for visitors interested in observing their behavior up close. Meanwhile, at Sumaco National Park in Napo, Ecuador, you might be lucky enough to witness a Lichen Katydid (Markia hystrix) skillfully blending into its surroundings using camouflage techniques among lichens. In Sark, British Isles lies an enchanting scene where a female Great Green Bush-Cricket (Tettigonia viridissima) lays her eggs with utmost care and precision. The Peacock Katydid (Pterochroza ocellata) takes center stage at Yasuni National Park in Orellana, Ecuador when it adopts a defensive posture that showcases its magnificent beauty. Venturing further into Ecuador's Napo region reveals the Spiny Devil Katydid (Panacanthus cuspidatus). Its unique appearance sets it apart from other katydids found across South America. Another remarkable sighting awaits those who explore forests worldwide; female Leaf Mimic Bush Crickets or Katydids expertly mimic leaves while ovipositing on branches. An unknown species within the Tettigoniidae family demonstrates leaf-like features as well - this time camouflaging itself amongst moss-covered environments.
