Weekly Photo Challenge: Wildlife

Wildlife in Chicago isn’t abundant, mostly rats and stray cats in my neighborhood. I found this guy or gal chilling at the boat yards along the Chicago River, on the south side. It’s some kind of insect, I know that much. Maybe it’s a cicada, or a grasshopper, not sure how to tag this… “mystery bug”? If there are any bug-people out there, (bug enthusiasts or people who believe they have been genetically altered with bug DNA – I’m not picky) if you know what this is, let me know!
