Baetica ustulata
Baetica ustulata
Baetica ustulata is a katydid in the family Tettigoniidae (order Orthoptera), recorded as Endangered.
The katydid
Katydids are long-horned orthopterans. Most species sing from vegetation; a few are cave or ground specialists.
Grasshoppers, katydids, and crickets hear and sing. A species may be diagnosed by the song or by a mountain valley.
Range and habitat
It is endemic to Spain and was previously known under its original placement as Ephippiger ustulata Rambur, 1838.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Habits
Katydids sing from shrubs or trees. Cave and ground forms in this family are the quiet exceptions.
Song, season, and a named mountain are how many of these insects were split. A silent valley after fire is an empty record.
