Katydid versus Cicada
Someone asked what the difference between Katydids and Cicadas is. A Katydid is in the same general family (Tettigoniidae) as grasshoppers, crickets, and locusts. A Cicada is in an entirely different family (Cicadoidea).
Here are some pictures of Katydids:

We hear a chorus of insects at night here in the Poconos that are called, both katydids and cicadas. Any idea which they are or both?!?!
and in the daytime in August the hot days are serenaded by high pitched insect sounds called "hot birds" by children. Are they locusts?
Thanks. P@ Wms.
