Red Legged Grasshopper

Melanoplus femurrubrum

Description:

Two grasshoppers me and my friend came across while out walking early one morning. it was damp but warm out in the field we were walking, if I remember correctly.

Habitat:

They reside in grassy and weedy places, especially in moist and sunny areas. They can be found in meadows, cultivated fields, yards, and crop borders.

Notes:

It took us a while to realize we were being surrounded.
