Great pictures - particularly like the one with the sun coming in right over the katydid. Seeing your pics makes me think that I found a katydid in my yard a few weeks ago and misidentified it, I thought it was a nymphal grasshopper but it looks almost identical to this (minus the fully developed wings). The eyes are identical. Do you think this is a katydid? https://steemit.com/photography/@carlgnash/color-challenge-thursday-green

I am not sure, but it certainly could be. The eyes are very close, and yours looks like an adolescent. There are a lot of different species of Katydids, so it very well could be. I also found a "sword-bearing conehead" Katydid, which I'll post about tomorrow or so.
"sword-bearing conehead" Katydid - that is a contender for the "best name" insect team! If it looks half as cool as it sounds that is going to be an awesome post - looking forward to it!
