Shrimp-like Grasshopper
Hello,
I found this interesting grasshopper this morning in Sarasota, FL. I have never seen anything like it. It almost looked more like a shrimp than an insect. I have attached a few pictures. Please let me know if you can identify it. I will go crazy until I find out what it is! Thank you so much!

Hi Jami,
We are thrilled to be able to post your photos of a Cone-Head Katydid in the genus Belocephalus. We quickly identified it on BugGuide because of an image sent from Florida.

Update: (07/03/2008) Katydid IDs from Piotr Naskrecki
Hi,
I have been looking at the page with unidentified katydids (Katydids 2), and thought I could help with some ID’s. From top to bottom they are: Conehead – Belocephalus (possibly sabalis)
