Is it the Katydid that rubs its legs? There is an insect that does make a sound by rubbing its legs, but the cricket does generate it's noise by its wings. WHich is funny cause I do not believe they can fly or fly very far with those wings. I may be wrong, but it might be like grasshoppers who can only fly short distances with their wings.
