To avoid those jaws, if you n

To avoid those jaws, if you need to move a conehead, it's best to either coax it onto a leaf, blade of grass, paper, etc, or gently grab it by the top and sides of the thorax. They drop legs pretty easily, so if you're grabbing it by the hind legs, always make sure you get both at the same time, or it will drop the one you grab. From my experience with having katydids, they can be "trained" to walk onto your hand for food, which makes moving them much easier.
