I'm bad with these all-green katydids... does anyone know the best way to prevent the green from turning brown upon drying?

Neoconocephalus sp.
This is one of the Conehead Katydids in the genus Neoconocephalus. It has a very rounded cone with what looks like a small dark border. However I don't feel confident calling it to species. If you could get a picture of the front of the face/cone It could be identified to species.

I politely disagree.
This looks to me to be a female Conocephalus sp., one of the lesser meadow katydids. I am certainly open to refutation, though:-)

Wow.....
No idea what I was thinking there. Rather embarassing.

Funny you should mention it-
This very topic (Preserving Orthoptera) was discussed at length a month or two ago.
