Romalea microptera
Pine plantation near Columbus, Georgia
Nice spotting! I think these grasshoppers are beautiful as nymphs AND as adults. This one appears to be about one molt away from maturity.
That's an impressive sized grasshopper. I think it is not mature yet as its wings are not fully formed and it may shed skin one more time. You can add your other images by clicking the 'edit this spotting' (top right) then 'add another photo to this spotting' button. You should then delete duplicate images because don't need discussion threads for the same insect in different places.
Nice one! When you have several shots of the same individual, could you combine them into one spotting? If you have many, then you could do a couple postings. Welcome to Project Noah!
