it blends in with leaves...and i live in chicago. it has 6 legs, looks like a grasshopper has red eyes and its wings are like leaves.
my sister said it made a clicking noise and she found it in her room. she attempted to kill it..but it didnt die. its guts are gushed out of its body. and it still moves. it was hurt a half hour ago and still hasnt died. its moving more and more as time goes by but barely... im just wondering wat it is.. is it a catydid?
its the size of a full grown grasshopper..about 2 inches in length including wings. a couple of weeks ago this really tiny bug jumped on me the size of a pea and its wings were raindrop shaped. it hops really far too.. what was that bug??
IT IS NOT A GRASSHOPPER. I KNOW ONLY THAT.

okay this is what it looks like sorta.. except...on its head.. the antennas go backwards instead of sticking out. and its face has whitish green spots all over its head and has red eyes. but it isnt this bug. it doesnt have a spike coming from its rear either.

its not a praying mantis or a locust.. i think it might be a katydid but what kind?

it could be the praying mantis or the locust.
only catydid females have that "sting", males do not have this.

It's probably a catydid. Your sister sucks.
