Katydid
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 onomatop ...

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.

Pterophylla Camellifolia
''Pterophylla camellifolia'', the common true katydid, is a common North American insect in the family Tettigoniidae (katydids). Within the Tettigoniidae, it belongs to the subfamily Pseudophyllinae (true katydids). Other common names include northern true katydid and rough-winged katydid. The loud, rasping, three-pulsed song, rendered "''ka-ty-did''", of the male of the nominate northern subspecies is the source of the vernacular name "''katydid''” as applied to any tettigoniid. It is a nearly flightless species that, in contrast with other katydids, often walks, runs, or hops rather than leaping or flying. It lives in the canopy of deciduous trees, where it feeds on the foliage. It can reach up to in length. Song The singing rate is temperature dependent. Four populations of this species can be distinguished by song characteristics: *The two-, three-, or four-pulsed song of northern populations, as described above; * The faster song with more pulses per phrase, often hea ...

Katydids (band)
Katydids were an English band, founded by the vocalist Susie Hug and guitarist Adam Seymour, adding Dan James on guitar, David Hunter on bass guitar, and Shane Young on drums in the late 1980s. In December 1989, ''NME'' had commented that Katydids were one of their tips for stardom in the 1990s. ''NME''s list also included Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine, The Charlatans, The Mock Turtles, Ride and The Popinjays. However, after two unsuccessful albums, Reprise dropped Katydids and they split up until new Katydids music surfaced in 2014. After a long hiatus, Hug embarked on a solo career, releasing two EPs and an album. Her husband, Adam Seymour, played with The Pretenders shortly after Katydids broke up. The band has released two EPs on SoundCloud in 2014.

USS Katydid (SP-95)
USS ''Katydid'' (SP-95) was an armed motorboat that served in the United States Navy as a patrol vessel from 1917 to 1919. ''Katydid'' was built as a civilian motorboat in 1912 by William Hoff at New Rochelle, New York. Anticipating the entry of the United States into World War I the following month, the U.S. Navy purchased her on 27 March 1917 from her owner, Arnold G. Dana, for use as a patrol boat. Assigned to the 3rd Naval District on 4 April 1917, she was commissioned on 10 May 1917 as USS ''Katydid'' (SP-95). In 1917, ''Katydid'' operated in New York Harbor and nearby waters serving as launch to the training ship and troop transport USS ''President Grant'' (ID-3014). Subsequently, she deployed to France. ''Katydid'' was laid up on 9 December 1919. She was transferred to the United States Department of War on 18 February 1920 for service with the United States Army Ordnance Department at Neville Island Neville Township is a township in Allegheny County, Pennsylvani ...

McDonnell TD2D Katydid
The McDonnell TD2D Katydid was a pulsejet-powered American target drone produced by McDonnell Aircraft that entered service with the United States Navy in 1942, and continued in use until the late 1940s. History In March 1941, the U. S. Navy awarded McDonnell Aircraft a contract for a radio-controlled target drone under the designation of XTD2D-1 for anti-aircraft and aerial gunnery practice. The aircraft had a mid-mounted wing, V-tail, and McDonnell XPJ40-MD-2 pulsejet engine mounted atop the rear fuselage. The drone could be either launched by catapult from the ground or from underwing racks on Consolidated PBY Catalina flying boats. It was gyro-stabilized, and control was by radio command; at the end of its mission the drone could be recovered by parachute. Operational history The Katydid entered service in 1942; testing took place at the Naval Air Missile Test Center in Point Mugu, California. Production models were originally designated TD2D-1, however the Navy changed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Katydid Sequence
The Katydid sequence is a sequence of numbers first defined in Clifford A. Pickover Clifford Alan Pickover (born August 15, 1957) is an American author, editor, and columnist in the fields of science, mathematics, science fiction, innovation, and creativity. For many years, he was employed at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research ...'s book ''Wonders of Numbers'' (2001). Description A Katydid sequence is the smallest sequence of integers that can be reached from 1 by a sequence of the two operations ''n'' ↦ 2''n'' + 2 and 7''n'' + 7 (in any order). For instance, applying the first operation to 1 produces the number 4, and applying the second operation to 4 produces the number 35, both of which are in the sequence. The first 10 elements of the sequence are: :1, 4, 10, 14, 22, 30, 35, 46, 62, 72. Repetitions Pickover asked whether there exist numbers that can be reached by more than one sequence of operations. The answer is yes. For instance, 1814 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
