Anyone know what kind of bug this is? grasshopper?

yuppie, a katydid piece, for sure! at a fast glance, it looked like a grasshopper because of hindhoppers but grasshoppers can be distinguished by their much shorter antennae and are often more colorful than katydid nymphs are.

grasshopper's short antennae

katydid's long ones

yours are waay long, so it's part of arde-katydid family. did you see it hopped? or at all? I know, one hind leg but nature do amaze us too!

I did see one hop/jump only once though after watching it ALL day. lol It wasn't as high or as long of a jump as a grasshopper but he also jumped onto something. Maybe if her tried harder he could jump further???
