The katydid

Camilla's Saddle Bush-cricket is a orthoptera first described by Fontana ngan Massa in 2000.

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

No country pin is stored for Camilla's Saddle Bush-cricket on this catalog. That is a missing field, not proof the animal has no range.

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.
