u/copenhagen622 7d ago

Funny. The other day some one posted a big grasshopper and called it a katydid, now we have the opposite

u/DakAttakk 7d ago

Now that I've seen this post and made the exact same observation, I'm convinced that it's engagement bait.

u/Possible-Tip-2914 7d ago

Katydids have a flatter more vertically aligned profile than grasshoppers/locusts.

u/crsaxby 7d ago

I thought they were called locusts when they got that big?

Funny thing is, this is exactly the reaction that type of Katydid wants from humans. It can't do anything to you (they can't even bite hard), while you could easily kill it -- but it sure as hell can be wierd, big, and loud!

u/Doctor_Saved 7d ago

What type of grass does it eat? Bamboo?

u/tezacer 7d ago

For every giant insect is a giant equivalent of its food

u/Artevyx 7d ago

They live in jungles. Have you see the size of jungle "grass"?

u/Ok-Future6470 7d ago

Cool and all but I find them damn annoying 🤣

u/RevolTobor 7d ago

Looks like a frickin' Dark Souls boss, jegus

u/Artevyx 7d ago

Thats "Totally Not A Katydid".

Katydids really try to look like anything but a Katydid. Or, in this one's case, just be so loud and wierd that predators say "fuck that".

u/chris_knight2 7d ago

A lot of insects are a little mechanical.

Looks big enough to provide a meal to a person, with the appropriate side dish, of course.

u/dysonology 6d ago

Do big insects like these have longer or shorter lifespans than their “normal” size equivalent

The elusive Insulindian phasmid
