Neoconocephalus triops - male

Neoconocephalus triops - Male

Moved from Common Coneheads.

Neoconocephalus triops
would be my guess as most likely species. It's hard to tell from just one photo taken from above (a shot of the face helps a whole lot), but it really looks like this species, which is also a common one in that area, that tends to survive through the winter as adults.

This one is a male, and a closeup of the top of the wings (near the base) might be enough for some people to pin it to a definite species too (the pattern of veins there varies somewhat from species to species).

 
David- Thabks!

I would agree.
The nose cone is so blunt as to rule out just about any other species, too.

How about
Neoconocephalus (Common Coneheads)

 
John- Thanks!

Nice photo, Jerry
Keep an eye out for those tree crickets!
