They are light brown in color throughout the body, but exhibit a bright turquoise-blue face and bear a prominent spine on the vertex of the head between the eyes, hence the common names.

The species was named in honor of Leon Levy, a prominent Wall Street financier and philanthropist who spent much time on Eleuthera and was an avid admirer of the island's flora and natural beauty.

Erechthis levyi is light-brown in color with a prominent dark brown stripe running dorsally along the midline from the thorax to the tips of the wings.

[1] Additional sampling in the future will enable a more thorough determination of its complete range throughout the Bahamian archipelago.

The habitat of E. levyi is forest coppice, with the most common plants being poisonwood (Metopium toxiferum), pigeon plum (Coccoloba diversifolia) and gum elemi (Bursera simaruba).

[5] As with many species of katydids, male E. levyi stridulate to produce an acoustic mating song to attract females.

[6] In the time domain, the song appears as a steadily repeated sequence of short chirps, each composed of a series of 3 – 5 pulse trains.
