WILD PHOTOGRAPHY - Neoconocephalus
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:

Upvoted at 100% to encourage real comments on steemit. Thanks for actually looking at my post and making a relevant comment. (Also, I have a gift for you, but you will have to wait...)
Thanks @tattoodjay!
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
Really like your comment - followed you @tatoodjay
Cool! That is the right attitude. I know that you will like the gift I got you, just be patient and I'll reveal it soon.
Ohh I forgot you mentioned a gift I am intrigued now LOL but also Patient :)
Cheers

The grasshopper is very beautiful. I have never seen this grasshopper. Very interesting, thanks for sharing
I am glad that you looked at it and liked it!
Good picture, grasshopper looks very perfect. I love it. This is the best animal posting in today. Thank you for sharing for all of us.
It was a hard one to get in focus, because it is so long, even its head. Thanks for appreciating it!
The mantis are very pretty. Good post
Katydid, similar in ways to a Mantis, but still pretty.
extraordinary. Good post, you must be a professional photographer. Although we see this common grasshopper but after we see the picture you portrait is really surprising all interesting
Yes, a good photo can make something common look amazing, and something small very interesting up close.
I am no professional, but I am trying to take good photos to share.
A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed @@@ Great Job !!!
I have one @papa-pepper :D
A little different, but still a green bug. I approve!
Thanks your response @papa-pepper :)
Very beautiful and interesting.
Your name is also interesting. Did you know that there is a @gavvet here on steemit?
I tried to see the eye in first two picture and then you let me see it in forth, thanks to have a close view of his eye.
what would be beautiful than the Grasshopper walking through a concrete.
