katydid
katydid and corn
I originally thought this was a grasshopper, but when I googled the image, I found out that it is a bush cricket , commonly known as a katydid.
Here is the link to the Wikipedia page on katydids. If the picture of the corn looks disorienting, it is because I turned it sideways, so that you can get a better look at the katydid.
I had a katydid in my house last week. Had a heck of a time getting it out. (not to be confused with the daughter, who is sometimes called katydid. She can stay until school starts.)

We put in a window air conditioner, but forgot to plug up one of the holes to the outside. It took me awhile to figure out why we had so many moths flying around in the house. The cats got alot of exersize that day while chasing them. Bugs in the house are not good. On the other hand daughters in the house, now that’s a good thing!

Nice katydid. We don’t have many bugs in the house, but we seem to have taken in this teenaged son who leaves a trail of belongings throughout the house and appears to be nocturnal. But we like him here, however brief his stay.

I have one of those too. Mine is just a little older. However, with the new job and all, he can only give in to his nocturnal tendancies on the weekend. The messy habit thing is pretty much confined to his room.
