What kind of bug is this?

I spotted this one on my caladium this morning... he's pretty big - probably about 2.5 to 3 inches long. Any idea what kind of bug this is?

Thanks!

Yup, a beautiful little Katydid! You'll hear her song....very different than those Locust who have been filling the air.

Such a little chameleon!......p

Very nice shots! I never seem to have my camera when I need it! You guys are getting some great pics of your little visitors!

Thanks everyone!

Glad to know what it is - it looked a little ominous!

And thanks for the photo kudos... I just got lucky and had it in hand when I spotted my buggy friend!

Now honestly, would you believe I never knew those were Katydids. My Granny used to call grasshoppers Katydids so that's what I thought they were. I had no idea what the heck these guys were called. Nice pictures, he's looking at you.
