Leaf-rolling "cricket"
Nice find! This is a leaf-rolling "cricket." Not a true cricket, but related to them in the order Orthoptera. They spend the day in leaves they roll and tie with silk spun from glands in their mouths.

Leaf-Rolling cricket
Thanks for the info! I saw one of the leaves rolled up (it's a gardenia bush) but nothing inside it when I looked, so it must have been done by the cricket.
