Found this gorgeous katydid.

The Copiphorini are a tribe of bush crickets or katydids in the family Tettigoniidae. Previously considered a subfamily (the Copiphorinae), they are now placed in the subfamily Conocephalinae. Like some other members of Conocephalinae, they are known as coneheads, grasshopper-like insects with an extended, cone-shaped projection on their heads that juts forward in front of the base of the antennae.

Neoconocephalus is a genus of katydids or bush crickets in the tribe Copiphorini, from the Americas. I believe it's one of those.

This is the 59th installment of 'Since I've Been Gone'. Taken on the same night as the last post while on my Iowa hitch with @americanconservationexperience, I found a slender meadow katydid (Conocephalus fasciatus). You are more likely to hear than see them as they produce a series of soft, quiet ticks and buzzes. #animal #animals #wildlife #iowawildlife #iowainsects #insectagram #insect #insects #nature #fauna #invertebrate #invertebrates #katydid #katydid #meadowkatydid #meadowkatydids #imago #arthropod #arthropods #animalia #insecta #arthropoda #orthoptera #ensifera #tettigoniidae #conocephalinae #conocephalus #conocephalusfasciatus #slendermeadowkatydid #aceinspires (at YMCA Camp Wapsie) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV_bN6DKbtV/?utm_medium=tumblr

Coneheads (Conocephalinae) are not particularly common in the UK – there are three species in southern England – but head south, and they start to get much more abundant. In many tropical and sub-tropical areas, they become extremely abundant and can be a severe pest, damaging a wide range of cultivated…

This is the 48th installment of 'Since I've Been Gone'. Taken on the same day as the previous post while on my Iowa hitch with @americanconservationexperience, I found a female black-legged meadow katydid (Orchelimum nigripes) camouflaged within the trees. Because they tend to live near water, it was an ideal place to find one. Chances are, the males of this species will be heard rather than seen because of their long buzzing sound that is a few seconds long each time. This one wouldn't let me get a picture of her face, she just stuck her butt at me when I tried. #animal #animals #wildlife #iowawildlife #iowainsects #insectagram #insect #insects #nature #fauna #invertebrate #invertebrates #katydid #katydids #meadowkatydid #meadowkatydids #imago #arthropod #arthropods #animalia #insecta #arthropoda #orthoptera #ensifera #tettigoniidae #conocephalinae #orchelimum #orchelimumnigripes #blackleggedmeadowkatydid #aceinspires (at YMCA Camp Wapsie) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVWeX7Eqq5e/?utm_medium=tumblr
