The katydid

Adriatic Marmored Bush-cricket is insektsart, first described by Franz Xaver Fieber in 1853.

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

Adriatic Marmored Bush-cricket is recorded from Italy and Slovenia.

GBIF currently lists 4,049 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.

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.
