A brown-faced conehead katydid (Conocephalinae: Copiphora cf. hastata) lies among the hundreds of red-eyed tree frog metamorphs (Agalychnis callidryas). Like many neotropical mantids, conehead katydids are voracious predators equipped with spiny forelegs to grapple prey and large piercing mandibles — a nightmare for small reptiles and amphibians.
