Peruvian Leaf Katydid (Pemba peruana)

Pemba peruana is a little-known katydid species native to Peru, classified within the subfamily Pseudophyllinae of the family Tettigoniidae. Described by Beier in 1960, it likely inhabits humid forest environments, relying on leaf-like camouflage to avoid predators—an adaptation common among its relatives. While specific ecological data is scarce, its genus suggests nocturnal habits and herbivorous feeding, possibly on broad-leaved plants. As part of Peru’s rich Amazonian biodiversity, Pemba peruana represents the cryptic beauty and ecological complexity of Neotropical Orthoptera.
