It is an immature Katydid, it will grow lots bigger.. I did a google search for immature katydid and pics like yours popped up

I love their songs. I hope they won't interfere with eggs or cats!

Thanks for the ID! I see big katydids off and on, as a matter of fact, there was a big one that hung out on the gate for a long time. I got a picture of it, but deleted it, because it was just a katydid. It had a big snout-like thing that protruded from the front of its 'face'. So maybe it was hanging out laying eggs? :)

I've been looking up katydids, and they say they can eat vegetable or animal matter - no help there. :/

Try Scudder's Bush Katydid nymph.

I've never seen a katydid like that around here. Thanks for the ID, Bob.
