Summary ²

Chlorobalius leucoviridis, commonly known as the spotted predatory katydid, is a species of long-horned grasshopper in the family Tettigoniidae. It is a predator and is an acoustic aggressive mimic of cicadas; by imitating the sounds and movements made by female cicadas, it lures male cicadas to within its reach and then eats them.
