It's a katydid, some feed on plants, others are predatory feeding on insects, larvae often feed on aphids.. Unless you have a swarm of them decimating crops, they do no harm.

Thanks Wallaby.

That is the only one I saw, so I am not worried about an invasion. I just never saw them before and couldnt find them in plantfiles. I didnt know what kind of bug to look under.
