Conehead katydid (likely short-winged conehead)

Tall grasses, meadows, wetlands, and vegetation along roadsides or field edges; adults may enter buildings attracted to light.

Primarily grasses, sedges, and other vegetation; some individuals also eat insects or other small invertebrates opportunistically.

Nocturnal and strongly associated with loud calling; males produce species-specific songs by rubbing their wings together. They jump or fly when disturbed and develop through incomplete metamorphosis.

Harmless to people and not venomous; occasional feeding can damage grasses or crops. It serves as prey for birds, spiders, frogs, and other predators.
