Trivia
- A katydid is a type of insect in the family Tettigoniidae, commonly called the bush cricket, that commonly has the shapes and colors of leaves. They are found on every continent except for Antarctica.
- Crickets and katydids are closely related in the animal kingdom, which may be why she is named Katydid, as she is the mother of Cricket.
