The fact that both katydids and crickets are able to lay hundreds of eggs was in line with Chinese beliefs that the most important ingredient to success in life was to have as many children as possible.
The katydid was thus elevated with the symbolism of thriving prosperity; People blessed their friends to have as many children as the katydids.(Meng, 1993).
Although katydids were kept for symbols of luck and auspicious virtue from the Chun Qui period (770-476 B.C.) (Meng, 1993), it was not until the beginning of the Tang dynasty that they were kept purely for the enjoyment of their song.

Most katydids are herbivorous, dining on foliage and flower petals; some also eat nectar and pollen, while a few are known carnivores that prey on other insects.
