Hexacentrus japonicus

Hexacentrus japonicus, commonly known as the Japanese bush-cricket or katydid, is a species of katydid found in parts of East Asia, including Japan, China, and Korea. It's part of the family Tettigoniidae, which encompasses various species of katydids and bush-crickets.

Hexacentrus japonicus has a long, slender body with large hind legs adapted for jumping. They are often green, which helps them camouflage in foliage. Males have special structures on their wings that allow them to produce loud, distinctive sounds (stridulation) to attract females.

They are primarily omnivorous, consuming a mix of plants and small insects.
These insects typically inhabit forested or bushy areas where they can blend into their surroundings. They are most active at night and are known for their loud, continuous songs that can be heard from a distance.
