The long-headed toothpick grasshopper (Achurum carinatum) lives and feeds among tall grass in the southeast US.
They’re flightless and not very fast or agile by grasshopper standards, but like a stick insect their camouflage seems to make up for it!
In Florida, they breed year-round and are abundant in this prairie habitat in January when few other insects are active.

Why the long face? Simply because it is a Long-headed Toothpick Grasshopper (Achurum carinatum), of course!
