Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, ForestDragon. I looked at your link, let it take me a few other places. For now, I think genus Conocephalus is the best I can do ... but I'll be reading up on distinguishing characteristics.

Yes! This looks like a species of Meadow Katydid. http://bugguide.net/node/view/460781/bgpage

OK, see if I've got this right so far ... this is a female katydid?
