I now think it's a grasshopper... But haven't come any further with its ID.

It's no cricket (the typical pincers at the rear is missing). I'd say a leaf hopper or as alice said a grasshopper.

Thank you so much Alice! That sets me at least on the right track in trying to ID this little creature...

Thanks Rachelle! Just been admiring that amazing katydid of yours...
