Thank you very much Karen. I will add the name. Dan, here is the name. You are not too far from where I live, so I am sure that you will meet this creature in the future. Such a big name for such little bug :-)

You're right, it's probably not a katydid. I'm not sure what this is.
RiekoS
I just check katydid in google, they have wings, right? The one I posted did not have wings... I don't know what it is, but it may not be katydid.... Can you give me more names?
Dan Doucette
Interesting spot. Looks like a katydid, but not sure which.
