Neoconocephalus sp. (possibly triops)
large bush cricket. My memory of exact size is unclear but think total body length from head to tip of wings between 6 and 8 cm.
unknown - found on wall of hotel (Hosteria Pantavi near Ibarra, Ecuador)
If it is Neoconocephalus triops, it's common name is broad-tipped conehead katydid

Good job, Marion!
Not confirming 100%, but with Neoconocephalus cf. triops we are at the safe side, I think.

That's really helpful. Have now done a bit more research and the closest match seems to be Neoconocephalus triops. Can anyone confirm or deny?
Thanks! It indeed looks like a Conocephalinae.
I only have the 2 photos I've already added, so the best I can do i'm afraid is add a cropped head pic of each of them. Will do that - hope it helps!
thanks Marion
Tettigoniidae, not really sure if a Conocephalinae. Do you have a larger picture of the head, best from top or the side or can you make a crop?
