Orchelimum vulgare, otherwise known as the common meadow katydid, is a species of Orthoptera found in the central and eastern regions of North America.

They prefer fields and low meadows, where they perch on clumps of grass.

They adapt best in moderate temperature climates, and cannot handle extreme heat or humidity.

[3] Orchelimum vulgare can be characterized by their red eyes, green faces, and a distinctly curved ovipositor.

[3] Orchelimum vulgare, like most katydids, functions as a food source for other organisms.
