The Good Katy (KATYDIDS)

Description
This episode contains discussion of sexual behaviors in katydids, which is surprisingly gross. This is our Valentine's Day episode. This week we try to discuss katydids (Family: Tettigoniidae) but we get awfully off track.

And Kelly gives an update on becoming Dr Kelly.   Kelly's field notes and Amanda's artwork:  https://www.bugsneedheroes.com/episodes/the-good-katy   Send us questions and suggestions!
