- The velvety pronotum of the common garden katydid is distinctly keeled, marked with a yellow stripe, and has a notched anterior margin and a rounded posterior.
- Their stridulation creates a relatively loud, distinctive chirp that resembles a bird's call, and they usually perform this singing behavior at night.
