Pterophylla camellifolia
Immature katydid of some sort, I presume. Seemed fairly large, but wings were not yet fully developed. Antennae at least as long as its body. Red eyes.
A weed in my garden.
Held very still with antennae stretched out alongside its front legs. http://bugguide.net/node/view/27886
Thanks guys! I think that it might be Pterophylla camellifolia - I found a photo here of a nymph with the same red striped eyes:
