Cool!
This is quite possibly an ADULT of the "Carolina leafroller," Camptonotus carolinensis. It is related to crickets, but in a different family (Gryllacrididae). The antennae on that species are just incredible, easily three times the length of the insect itself. While these are actually common insects, they are not often seen, except by their chief enemy, the sphecid wasp Sphex nudus.

Some sort of nymph (juvenile insect)
I'd guess a katydid, but do wait for expert advise. BTW, you may want to crop a bit closer on future images. (Possibly this one, too.)

Welcome to Bug Guide!
