Moved from Oecanthus.

This is a female Narrow-winged Tree Cricket
Even though there is not a clear view of the antennal markings, the one mark that is visible is a curved black mark -- a part of the 'J' seen on O. niveus. In addition, the dark stripe extending into the pronotum is characteristic of this species. The way her ovipositor is positioned is interesting...they generally hold them up against the underside of their folded wings. Possibly she had recently been ovipositing.
