It's a Cone-headed Katydid!

 These fascinating insects are native to Central America, measure from 3 to 4 inches in length, and have an oversized jaw. Because they are omnivorous, they eat plants and fruits and supplement their diet with insects like crickets and mealworms. This is where their powerful jaws come in handy.
