Katydid having her morning meal.

Katydids are widespread, occurring in every region of the world with the exception of Antarctica. They are especially abundant in the tropics, particularly in the Amazon Rainforest, but are also found in cooler and drier regions, such as the heathlands of Australia, the deserts of the United States, and parts of Canada and northern Europe. They typically are found living on trees, bushes, or grasses, often matching the appearance of their surroundings.
