I live in Texas about 50 miles south of Dallas.
I went outside and saw this big insect on the top of my windowsill but do not know what it is called. Maybe you can help me find out.
It was pretty big for an insect. About the size of a cicada or maybe bigger by a little. It's body looked like that of a big fat grasshopper though but with much skinnier hind legs, and its green color was a light shade of green, kinda like a katydid.
I walked to within a couple of feet from it. I know it saw me because it moved a few steps when I approached. It didn't look scared or seemed to be something I should be afraid of either.
Any ideas?
