Immature
Judging from the wings, I guess this is an immature katydid?

Yes, katydid nymph.
This is a nymph of Microcentrum rhombifolium. Relatively short hind legs in proportion to body give the genus. The fact this is in Utah leads to the species ID. No other species of this genus are found there.
