Definitions

  1. A green long-horned insect related to crickets and grasshoppers.

Word origin

Onomatopoeic, from the sound a common true katydid (Pterophylla camellifolia) makes by stridulating.

Used in a sentence

  • I have noticed all these, and some at a much earlier date than the first faint lisping of a timid katydid; and all such sights and sounds are similarly suggestive—the summer is drawing to its close.
  • In the night the katydids and crickets screeched in waves, soft then loud, back and forth.
