Leaf-mimic Katydid
There are many insects in the family Tettigoniidae (bush crickets or katydids) which are mimics of leaves. This type of camouflage occurs in several subfamilies including the: * Pterochrozinae * Phaneropterinae * Pseudophyllinae Other unrelated insects adopting a similar camouflage strategy include the leaf insects.

Pterochroza
''Pterochroza ocellata'', the peacock katydid, is an insect in the family Tettigoniidae from the Amazon rainforest in South America. It is the only species in the genus ''Pterochroza''. The species is a leaf-mimic katydid; when it is in repose its camouflage resembles a diseased or dead leaf. The katydid owes both its common name and its specific name (zoology), specific epithet (''ocellata'', meaning "marked with little eyes") to its Deimatic behaviour, startle display, in which it shows false eye spots on its normally hidden hind wings. Characteristics The adult ''Pterochroza ocellata'' is about 45mm to 65mm in length. In its protective camouflage it resembles a dried leaf. If in spite of its camouflage it is threatened, the katydid exposes its hind wings, displaying two conspicuous eye spots. No two individual ''Pterochroza ocellata'' are identical in their color pattern or the shape of the wings; this reduces the risk that predators could learn to recognize a fixed visual ...

Tettigoniidae
Insects in the family Tettigoniidae are commonly called katydids (especially in North America), or bush crickets. They have previously been known as "long-horned grasshoppers". More than 8,000 species are known. Part of the suborder Ensifera, the Tettigoniidae are the only extant (living) family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea. They are primarily nocturnal in habit with strident mating calls. Many species exhibit mimicry and camouflage, commonly with shapes and colors similar to leaves. Etymology The family name Tettigoniidae is derived from the genus ''Tettigonia'', first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. In Latin ''tettigonia'' means a kind of small cicada, leafhopper; it is from the Greek τεττιγόνιον ''tettigonion'', the diminutive of the imitative ( onomatopoeic) τέττιξ, ''tettix'', cicada. All of these names such as ''tettix'' with repeated sounds are onomatopoeic, imitating the stridulation of these insects. The common name ''katydid'' is also onomat ...

Pseudophyllinae
The subfamily Pseudophyllinae contains numerous species in the family Tettigoniidae, the katydids or bush crickets. Sometimes called "true katydids", together with the crickets of suborder Ensifera, they form part of the insect order Orthoptera which also contains grasshoppers. Members of the group are noted for their remarkable camouflage. They closely resemble dried leaves, including veins, various blotches and even bite marks. Systematics The Pseudophyllinae may be subdivided into the following tribes (the first 17 of which are sometimes grouped into the super-tribes: Pleminiiti and Pseudophylliti) and genera. (retrieved 25 December 2017) Some notable are also listed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
