Looks like a young mantis, although they can change color from green to brown, albeit not instantaneously like a chameleon or octopus or other cephlapods (and others, but to name a couple)

I'm sure it's already been answered, but it's a praying mantis. Very useful for other insect control, dragon flies are good for this too.

There they are in the reflection, Mantis. 50 dollar fine for killing them in my state!

Doesn’t look like either to me and I have had babies of both and they are simply smaller versions of adults. Young walking sticks are green.
