The last pic in this link looks just like the ones I have seen, except the ones I see have larger wings. But you can see the "tail" in that pic.

See if that "Green Meanie " matchttp://images.google.com/images? hl=en&lr=&q=katydids'&sa=N&tab=wihes any of these photos!!!!

I still think it is a Katydid. That little insect from New York is getting a great Review!!!

I see those all the time around here, I always thought it was a grasshopper

I just had one clinging to the deck railings...I asked Mark what he thought it was but we were both baffled....thanks for the information....I can now tell Mark that I know what they are.

I have to share this picture I took a few weeks ago. It's an Eastern lubber grasshopper. They're really big and they're all over the place.

Wow Kari, what a neat lookin' hopper. They are not that colorful up here.

Oh hehe I'd always known those were Katydids. They are ALL OVER here!
