The Conehead Katydid!
After finding that Common True Katydid the other day we came upon a member of the Neoconocephalus genus of Katydids.
The Neoconocephalus genus of Katydids are the ones commonly referred to as “Conehead” Katydids. You can see the elongated head and black tip in the photo above. You may also notice the long ovipositor protruding from the rear of the Katydid. This is the organ that they use to deposit eggs. Because of the shape of this organ on some species, they are commonly called “sword bearing.”
Eventually this beautiful creature would up as chicken food. (Circle of life…) At least I captured some great photos of it first. Enjoy!
Cute face, huh?
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
Great shots and such an interesting character it is, a see the Cone head part, but that face is one only a mother would LOve lOL

WOW thanks truly appreciated and so kind of you, I just find cut and pasted or generic comments on my post a waste of their time and mine.
so I try to actually read posts if I am going to comment and commenting based on the content of the post
I decided on day one on here to focus on finding interesting content and becoming part of the community, unlike many who seem to focus on making easy money on here.
I plan to just slowly do what I do and build up friends on here, if down the line I make a bit of money that would be a bonus but wont be my focus

We also have a version in South Africa, but it is nothing as fancy as yours! I believe that there are no ugly creatures and that all life is sacred! Although, as you stated, in the animal kingdom things work differently in their " Circle of life" They kill to eat! In the human kingdom, we kill each other due to greed and hatred!

Very cool! They do come in other colors (though mostly brown and green).
Some other katydids come in yellow and pink too.
I once did a post with a yellow one and a green one. I called them "Lemon" and "Lime."

Great nature photos! I'd have never known about this Katydid without this post. Twice in your posts I've seen either a picture of you or a video with you in it. That tells us you are human! You're not a bot or someone who has posts written for him.
Also noticed you have a link to translate your posts! Great idea.
