haha thats pretty fun-e. Could it be a walking stick? I talked to my friend who is an agricultural bio major and said it could be a walking stick, they are kinda of a cross between a grasshopper and a praying mantis.

This is like 3-4" long. Can grasshoppers get that big? And I thought locusts were more of a brownish color. This is definately a grass color.

hahaha thats what i was thinking. And the measurement I gave above was its body only....antennae adds about 2-3 inches.
 
Looking at the pics in the last link provided, I think its either a katydid or a bush cricket because of its hind legs. Its body is more like a katydid but its antennae are more like the bush cricket.
