Hi! Can anyone tell me what this/these are?? Today I found this formation of perfectly symmetrical seed-like things on the wood of our kids playset.

Thanks!!

I remember finding these these quite often as a kid but I never tried to rear any.

Is there a term for the Katydidae subgroup?

Even if they are grasshoppers taxonomically, for the average person, they still want a label to distinguish between Katydidae and non-Katydidae.
