Size: ~35 mm
It's not a stink bug, it doesn't have katydid legs, it has a mantid-looking face and it's shaped like a cicada. A green roach, maybe? I'll send a lateral view.

Tongue-In_Cheek
The frustration of trying to ID this bug led to my toungue-in-cheek comment about it being a green roach!! Never had any idea such a thing existed.

I *always* try a search...
using a couple of key features of an insect that I am not sure about since I failed to do so one time...


I thought about searching for "big eyed bug" but didn't...
Turns out to have been a Big-eyed Bug...

Funny
A few years ago, I saw a lone, red-headed duck in Mobile Bay and it was diving. I later found out it was a Red-Headed Bay Duck, a diving duck. As for the green roach, my brain would not accept that possibility.
