Nah! You aint going nowhere!
We call em June Bugs here in N.C. No idea the genus/species but they're everywhere here.
Locally called katydid. You're welcome.:biggrin

Katydid is what I've always known them to be too.
"Dead Katydid" if he lands on me............
Also referred to as "mashed katydid"..
I know - but a bug is a bug is a bug............
