Yen, up in CT we have a huge glatiator katydid population, neat looking katydid, this summer I'll catch some for u
Gladiator katydid? Sounds macho!
I have put both adult males and females together after hearing male chirping on another cage, but haven't seen any mating so far. Wonder if it is too early to pair them up.

They make a funny chirping noise so don't keep them in your bedroom, and they lay eggs in plant material such as grass
Whenever I keep katydids I have them all in a net cage and they do fine with plenty of food
I like the true katydids and angular winged katydids common here in CT
Big no no for me keeping bug in bedroom or my bugroom will be the bedroomThey make a funny chirping noise so don't keep them in your bedroom, and they lay eggs in plant material such as grass

In the museum insect zoo, pink katydid eggs were incubated on coconut fiber bedding (slightly buried) so i am not sure if the katydid lay eggs on plant stems or soil.
