CLOSED: Katydid? Concern?

Jacksonville, FL(Zone 9a)

I believe that this may be a Katydid, that I discovered on a Rose bush. Am I correct? And should I be concerned for my rose? From what I've read, they should not cause too much damage? Really would love another opinion. I hate to destroy it if it's fairly benign….
Thanks for looking. :-)

We are having huge issues with grasshoppers this year, and they eat til nothing is left, if there is one, soon will be more and the accumulative damage is extensive

Looks like a nymph of a greater angle-wing katydid. They seldom are abundant enough to be serious pests...

Thanks for your responses…Think I may just keep an eye out for more of them, or too much damage.
We have Lubbers that have become a nightmare here, but this is the first I've seen of this little one.

Thanks again!
