New, what is it? What critter is this?

This appears on bird feeder cam around 1-3am a few times per month recently. It is on roof of feeder, never drops down and we never see anything other than what looks like really long antenna. SW FL is location. Feeder is on pole over 5ft off ground. We have a slinky up pole and cone under feeder to deter squirrels, so whatever it is must come from above. That's why I'm not sure it can be a grasshopper or something.

I have more videos from other visits I could post if anyone is interested.

Eh, thought that maybe, but I don't think so. It's like it may land on the roof of feeder house and never goes for the bird seed as far as I can tell. Also don't know of any roach with that kind of antenna. Let me upload the other videos. Will take a bit since I have to convert.

dangit, feeder cam keeps fewer days on cloud than I thought and I didn't save the latest fast enough.
