I thought it was an ant until I checked it out via my macro lens . Nymphs of Leptoderes (leaf mimic katydid)?. Perhaps Leptoderes ornatipennis?

These are all good ones! Reminds me of a friend who does these kind of shots...what lens did you used on these shots? Just curious...I still have my beetle in the fridge cooling off. He is still alive and I am getting some weird looks from hubby as to why it is there...
