Tettigoniidae
Insects in the cricket family Tettigoniidae are commonly called katydids or bush crickets. More than 6,400 species are known. They are also known as long-horned grasshoppers, to distinguish them from the Caelifera, the true or short-horned grasshoppers. Part of the suborder Ensifera, it is the only family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea.
Primarily nocturnal in habit, with strident mating calls, many katydids exhibit mimicry and camouflage, commonly with shapes and colors similar to leaves.
Etymology
The name is derived from the genus Tettigonia, first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1748. Latin tettigonia means leafhopper; it is from Greek tettigonion, the diminutive of the imitative (onomatopoeic) τέττιξ, tettix, cicada.
Description and lifecycle
Description
Tettigoniids range in size from as small as 5 to as large as 130 mm. The smaller species typically live in drier or more stressful habitats which may lead to their small size. The small size is associated with greater agility, faster development, and lower nutritional needs. Tettigoniids are tree-living insects that are most commonly heard at night during summer and early fall. Tettigoniids may be distinguished from the grasshopper by the length of their filamentous antennae, which may exceed their own body length, while grasshoppers' antennae are always relatively short and thickened.

I know
You need
Love and understanding
Sometimes
Feel like
I can't give you more of my time
You keep on wanting me
To be there girl
But I can't be
Why you keep stressing me
When you know I'm doing my best
I keep on telling you
I do the best that I can do
How can I get through to you
Everything I do is for you
1 - You got me where you want me
Tell me what you need
Take me baby
Tell me what you want
Anywhere you wanna go is for me
You got me where you want me
I can't keep on going through these changes
The more you doubt me
You keep pusing me away girl
You keep on wanting more
I'm doing my best
I'm doing everything for you
Repeat 1
Girl, you got me yearning
Yearning to know what I'll do with love
Can you tell me what I'm doing
But I'm always saying you don't understand
I'll never leave you alone
Repeat 1
