Katydid’s Camouflage Fail

I’ve lived in the Twin Cities for 45 years and only today saw one of these cleverly camouflaged creatures on our window presumably sheltering from rain. It looked like a folded leaf! Its body was about two inches long, and it was walking vertically on its six legs, which seemed to have suction cups at the ends. A quick Google search revealed it to be a broad-winged katydid, a common insect in this area.
