Greater Angle-wing Katydid
This is most likely a Greater Angle-wing Katydid (Microcentrum rhombifolium). Lesser Angle-winged Katydids only make is as far north as central Ohio while Greater can be found as far north as Michigan.

It's a katydid
Possibly genus Microcentrum - perhaps someone else will know more exactly.

Hannah is Right:-)
Hannah is correct as usual. This is a female (curved ovipositor, and no stridulatory field on front wings) anglewing katydid in the genus Microcentrum. Nice images.
