Cool find! Do you have any other views? I am feeling pretty sure that this is a species of Shield-backed Katydid. Subfamily Tettigoniinae: http://bugguide.net/node/view/284/bgpage...

I am leaning towards Genus Apote or maybe Genus Anabrus. If you have any more images, that would possibly help with ID.

Take a look at the link I provided and see what you think.
