Most of us  know it better as Pyrgocorypha uncinata, but it’s a cool closeup. Running the name through Garble Translate, uncinata is Latin for “hooked,” and Pyrgocorypha translates to, um,  “Pyrgocorypha”.

From the linked website:

There are a number of coneheads in the eastern U.S.

Seems to me like that’s a big DUH, as I went to school with a few.  That’s not intended to disparage any coneheads, hooked or otherwise, because we’re ALL Pyrgocorypha here on The Overnight Open Thread.
