Conocephalus conocephalus is the type species of the conehead genus Conocephalus and the bush cricket tribe Conocephalini. This species has been recorded from southern Europe, including France, and Africa. Described by Carl von Linné in 1767, C. conocephalus appears to have no surviving type specimens, although it is believed that material may have been obtained from Africa. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an African Cone-Head sighting in Camargue on a given day, based on 61 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 75 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September and October
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an African Cone-Head in Camargue on a given day, against under 5% in December to May, the lowest months. Those are among Camargue's wettest months, with about 80 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in July.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most African Cone-Head sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Camargue, in our data
Camargue is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate African Cone-Head sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the African Cone-Head is recorded against all the insects logged in Camargue (61 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
