It was so big and awesome and pretty in its own way When I got back inside the house, I went on google to try and identify it. I *think* it is actually a katydid. I've included a picture of something similar. It was just such a neat insect! Yes, I am a dork!


Thanks for posting these. I love Katydids, they're amazing insects.
