I believe you do your own recycled metal sculptures. Very nice. Your photography ain't bad, neither.
The katydid, sorry, is not. It is a CONEHEAD!!! Probably not from Remulac.
From the Orthoptera family Tettigoniidae, as are katydids, but a different sub- family, Coniphorinae. This one may be Neoconocephalus ensigner, a male. The ovipositor on the female is easily seen. Equal in length to abdomen. In katydids, the ovipositor is sickle shaped and shorter.
They are deafening when singing at close range. The jaws are evil. They can inflict a nasty, painful bite(yep, I was a lot more careful with them afterwards).
Good evening again, all.

Ah, another super sculpture doubling as an insect attractant, well done. I had to look up what kokopelli meant.
Great shot of both the sculpture and the Katydid. I'm happy to see that there are still places where insects (and green grass) can be found.

Technically they are. Different sub-family. So Neoconocephalus gets a different common name. So, all coneheads are katydids, but not all katydids are coneheads.
