Tettigoniidae (family)
this katydid found near a cornfield, may be Coneheads & Meadow Katydid subfamilia Conocephalinae
The family Tettigoniidae, known in American English as katydids and in British English as bush-crickets, contains more than 6,400 species. It is part of the suborder Ensifera and the only family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea. They are also known as long-horned grasshoppers, although they are more closely related to crickets than to grasshoppers
It's a Katydid (or bush-cricket) going after the antenna. Grasshoppers have short and thick antenna. See mine for comparison:
