looks kinda like cicada green grocer, but i'd say it is some sort of stinkbug correct me if im wrong lol you'll know its a stinkbug when you smell it (i would'nt advise sticking your nose too close to it) also it might help to get an underside shot of it

It's a bladder cicada; Cystosoma saundersii. Going by the fat body and wing shape. They're known to play dead to escape predators.
 
the attachment didn't work but spud meister has it !!
 
That would be a male, based on the shape of the abdomen.
