Immature katydid

Your photo is of a young or immature katydid. It probably hitched a ride on someones clothing. They feed on foliage so it should be put back outside.
It is hard to ID a young katydid but it does look a little like a Scudder bush katydid as it looks like the antenna have white bands.
They eat leaves of deciduous trees and shrubs.
Eggs are laid on twigs and leaves, in an overlapping pattern like shingles on a roof. Eggs overwinter then hatch in spring. One generation per year.
