I'm very glad this spotting could help, drpalombella!! I'll have to check out your spotting!

I just uploaded a spotting of this one. It took me quite a while to figure it out. Seeing that yours looks almost identical to mine definitely bolsters my ID.

Nice spotting! Mine doesn't have the clarity that your photo has but I would say these look pretty close:

Another nymph from bugguide.net:

They come in green as well:

The species page since the subspecies page doesn't have much info:

No idea what kind of grasshopper it is, but it looks like a third of forth instar nymph.
