Common Conehead
Dear Rye-Guy,
Your Katydid is known as a Common Conehead in the genus Neocolocephalus, and BugGuide has this to say about its feeding habits: “Adults feed mostly on seeds of grasses, sometimes sedges. Nymphs feed on grass flowers, developing seeds.” BugGuide also notes that it may bite if handled, but it is worth mentioning that this is not a venomous species and it is most likely that the bite will not even draw blood.
