Katydids (Tettigoniidae) are best known for their songs, which are generally nocturnal and nonmusical, i.e., buzzy or raspy. The songs of their close relatives, the crickets, are musical. Cicadas also have nonmusical songs, but they are twilight and daytime singers.
Some of the species listed below are not verified as being in NATL but are presumed to be there based on fieldwork in similar habitats in west Gainesville.
The species on this page have been linked to the corresponding species pages of Singing Insects of North America. The songs are from the same source.
