Broad-tipped Conehead Katydid

Copyright © Lewis Scharpf

Neoconocephalus triops
Auburn, Alabama
Note: Species name "triops" is Greek, meaning "three eyes".
Also a character from Greek mythology, an offspring of the
sea-god Poseidon and Kanake. (Based on Internet searches.)
This refers to the black spot on the cone, having the
appearance of a third eye.
