Yes, a katydid is just like a grasshopper. This particular model jumped onto my desk one day when I had left the screen door open (it was so lovely out). I didn't even know she wasn't a grasshopper until I analyzed the photos after returning her to the great outdoors. Then, my zoologist friend confirmed she was a katydid with an ovipositor loaded full of eggs. These cards let you examine her fascinating anatomy without the risk of her jumping away.

3-part format includes photos, labels, and control cards (word and label put together)
Cards for the whole katydid and each of its key parts (see photo for list); 30 cards total
Rounded corners (no pricked fingers or dog-eared cards)
Comes in a sturdy, clear reclosable bag for storage
Lesson plan included

These can be beautifully displayed in our 3-pocket cloth pouches (sold separately).

Created by a Montessori teacher and a zoologist. Eco-printed by parents/teachers/students in our rural New England office.
