Saginae The Saginae are the Predatory Katydids or Predatory Bush-crickets, a Subfamily of the Family Tettigoniidae (the Katydids, long-horned grasshoppers or bush-crickets). They are unusual among Orthopteran subfamilies, in that effectively they are specialist carnivores. In this respect they have been regarded as unique, but some members of two other subfamilies, the Austrosaginae and Listroscelidinae at one time were included in the Saginae, and some members of those subfamilies are partly or completely predatory.
