I would have had no idea. Great to finally know what it is! Thanks for the update!
Really neat picture of a great grasshopper. These are nymphs, little grasshoppers. Their colors warn predators that they are toxic. I've never seen them in real life, they don't come very far north, so thanks for the picture!
