Panacanthus ( Inglês )

fornecido por wikipedia EN

Panacanthus is a genus of nocturnal, predatory, coneheads, found in the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforests, such as in Yasuní National Park.[2][3] None of the species in this genus are listed by the IUCN. The species in this genus are characterized by their spike-covered bodies, which allow it to blend in with the vegetation on which it lives, and discourage potential predators. The common names spiny-headed katydid, spine-headed katydids, spike-headed katydids, thorny devil katydid, thorny devil bush cricket, and similar variations of the sort, do not apply to a single species, and multiple species are often called by the same common name.
