    I didn't know katydids glow under UV! Do you know if this is true for only select species, or for many? Posted 3 years ago

      Not all Katydids glows under UV.
      Haven't got a chance to test on variety of Katydids, but checking on most subjects I encountered if there are any UV effects.       Posted 3 years ago
