I would like some help identifying the insect you hear in the above-linked video. You can hear it through the whole clip, two of them actually, singing a two-note song. The series of clicks that comes in twice is something else. I live in Northern Indiana, and hear these all over, but not in my yard. In a lot of woods nearby, you can hear hundreds of them at once all night. My neighbor (1/8 mile away) has the two in the video, and despite having a lot of trees in my yard, I don't have any. I'm guessing it's some sort of katydid, but a very specific ID would be great. Ideally, I'd like to try to catch a few and introduce a population into my yard, but I don't know how practical that idea is. Thank you very much for any help you can provide.
