This must be a nymph. Wingless species are hardly green

Right, that'd be a possibility, but I think I'll just accept the fact that sometimes you just can't know it all ;-)

There is actually one possibility: catch'n hatch! ;-)... You need a master expert in hopperism for IDing this one.

Thanks. So I guess I'll never get closer than the suborder in this case.

Yes, this is a grasshopper and a grasshopper nymph.
