That looks like 'Oecanthus fultoni', one of many species of insects that are in fact called tree-crickets. They belong to the family 'Gryllidae' and subfamily 'Oecanthinae' of crickets (suborder 'Ensifera' of the order 'Orthoptera'). Katydids, which are another type of cricket of course, belong to the family 'Tettigoniidae', which has many subfamilies.
@MrJFoxProductions Thanks for the clarification on this...and you are right. I want to use this as an educational tool for small children and it is indeed a snowy tree cricket! Good video.
I have been hearing this noise outside my open bedroom window and it was making me crazy so I took a flashlight and went to the source of the noise in a climbing rosebush and saw the cadydid amazingly, actually vibrating the wings.
Sounds like a cricket
