I agree with Prairie tree cricket
The overall green color with dark on the limbs and antennae suggest O. argentinus. Prairie tree crickets often have pronounced white lateral edges of the pronotum. The hind wings of this species are commonly extra long as in this female.

Definitely Oecanthus, adult female. My guess is O. argentinus, but wait for Nancy.

Nancy may get it to species, but often the markings at the base of the antennae are an important diagnostic feature.
