Terrible pictures but would like to know what this is. Hitched a ride on my car for at least four miles. Thanks.

Looks like it may be a Western Green Grass Grasshopper, see here:

Thanks for responding but I do not think it matches. You grasshopper has that very muscular middle leg and short antennae.

I think they are called katydids. We had those in Indiana when I was growing up.

Looks pretty close. http://www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecology/true_katydid.htm Wings and antennae are a bit different so mine might be another variety. Thanks for the help.

I suspect it is but would like to nail down the variety.

Looks like the nymph stage (maybe) of a variety of katydid but don't know which.
