"I'm Out of Here!"

This bug was high tailing it off this daylily bloom as I came along with my camera. It was an unusual shade of green - no colour tweaks here. I"m guessing it's in the grasshopper family but I have a lot to learn about insects so it could be just about anything!

Many thanks for dropping by.

ps. LONG antennae - the one on the right goes all the way down past the stigma to the petal.
Could this be some kind of katydid? Brilliant colors.

@newbie I looked that one up this morning stacey, as that was my first thought. I have a cool pic of one on a daylily from last summer. I didn't think it matched but it could very well be ... the legs are certainly similar.
