Katydids 1:
Meadow Katydids
Conehead Katydids and
Shieldback Katydids
This section of the guide includes two genera of meadow katydids: Conocephalus and Orchelimum.
Slender Meadow Katydid
Gladiator Meadow Katydid
Conehead Katydids - simply referred to as "Coneheads" - are next.
All our NE Ohio Coneheads are in the genus Neoconocephalus,
and, yes, all their heads have little cones at the ends.
Sword-bearing Conehead
Shieldback katydids, which often look like little armor-clad warriors, and the non-singing Drumming Katydid complete this section.
Protean Shieldback
