For me haunting sound they make ranks up there with the howl of a coyote. Only these things are right next to you instead of across a field or on a distant hillside.
I always remember calling them Katydids as a kid. Cicadas and Katydids are not the same thing. They are two different types of insects. Cicadas are known for their loud buzzing or singing sound, while katydids are known for their distinctive “katydid” mating call. Additionally, cicadas have large, transparent wings and are often green or brown in color, while katydids have long, slender bodies and green or brown camouflage.
