Melanoplus ponderosus
About 2 inches long. Striping on outside of legs. When it jumps it uses it's wings for added distance.
Grassy field in Eaton, Ohio.
Found around noon on a sunny day. It was about 70 F outside. When I found it it was sitting in the grass but easily climbed onto my hand for pictures.
