LONG wings, the young comes out of the dirt, go into a chrysalys, then growns wings breeds, and dies leaving a big fat oval shaped body (1-1.5" long, wings a little longer than the body)
I do know that I was told Frogs LOVE them, so maybe, but I think it would be a bit on the *GULP* big side

They are often called Leaf Bugs, king of like stick bugs, but they have a back end that realistically clones a leaf. I see them around here in Georgia quite often, very beautiful insects.

That is a cicada, you hear them during the summer. A katydid is the noise you hear at night. They are these big green leaf like grasshoppers which live in the trees. My WTF loves to eat the smaller male ones.
