Moved
Moved from Katydids. Tentative genus ID, but the long antennae and proportionately short legs make me think it is probably Orchelimum.

Conocephalinae.
Nymph of one of the meadow katydids, Orchelimum or Conocephalus. Indication of size might be helpful here.

Size
About an inch -- maybe slightly less. But those antennae were very long.
