Truxalis nasuta
Great size, shape and color camouflage it with herbs. The head is tapered.
Lives in the herbs in which nourish where it is difficult to see it because of cryptic mimetic forms and colors, with grass plants.

It is a species of conehead grasshopper - a beauty.

Really neat Grasshopper! It has shorter, thicker antennae so that rules out katydids and crickets. I think they call these Toothpick Grasshoppers. I am sorry but I don't have time to look up more at this time.
Either grasshopper,locust, or katydid.
