Copiphora rhinoceros, the Rhinoceros Spearbearer, is a katydid insect of the Tettigoniidae family found in Central America. It belongs to a group known as the conehead katydids and can be identified by a horn-like projection on the center of its head. The horn is used to ward off attacks from hungry bats. Unlike most herbivore katydids, the rhinoceros katydid is an omnivore, feeding on fruit, seeds, invertebrates and small lizards. Lifespan is one to two years.
