Could be a leaf hopper but the color isn't quite right and it is early for them in most of the country. Without knowing your location or at least your garden zone I can't say. But it could also be a number of other things too. Would need a closer pic to say for sure.

The thing with gardening and insects is that 90+% of the bugs are good guys - beneficial insects or neutrals, not harmful to the garden. It is one of the first lessons of gardening so we learn to live with them.

So the general rule of thumb is if they aren't doing any damage, leave them alone. This guy appears to be indoors so i can't see that he is in need of any response other than maybe shooing him outside. If they are doing damage to plants then first you ID the pest doing the damage and then select the insecticide labeled specifically for them that is the least toxic. Otherwise you end up killing all the good guys too that the garden needs.

What size is this insect? It could be anything from a tiny leaf hopper to a katydid, going by that image.

The first rule is to ID an unknown critter. Much of the time, with the worst of the plant pests, the damage simply isn't obvious until too late. Scale insects, aphids, and leaf hoppers, for example, aren't plant chewers but instead suck plant juices in large amounts.

You'd be surprised at the people who don't think aphids are a problem because they don't see any holes or chewing damage.

To glean good information from us, you need to give us good information: your location, behavior of the insect, size, etc.
