Moved from Common Coneheads.

Round-tipped Conehead
This is a Round-tipped Conehead (Neoconocephalus retusus). The easiest way to tell Round-tipped apart from Broad-tipped is the ovipositor. Round-tipped Coneheads ovipositor extends well beyond the wings like yours while Broad-tipped doesn't quite reach the end of the wings. Thanks for posting it!

No.
Not triops. Triops has a shorter ovipositor. This is either N. retusus, robustus, or it could be something else I'm not familiar with. My gut says it's retusus, though.
