Description
This Differential Grasshopper - Yellow Phase (Melanoplus differentialis) really stood out. He was posing so nicely I just had to take a picture:>). This ID is my best guess and any corrections are most welcomed.
This picture was taken in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, on August 8, 2011.

He is a beaut, but I get the creeps when thay land on me. Their feet feel so spiney...v/f
Carol Senske replied:
They do have sticky feet - those prickly feet must hold them onto plants in big wind! Thanks, my dear, for the comment and the V/F!!!!
