Coelidia olitoria
The orange one looks like a grasshopper nymph. And the brown one, maybe some kind of leaf hopper? The leaf insect was only 1/2 inch. I was taking a few photos of the leaf insect when someone got curious. It was real funny. (Trying to locate my other photos)
Meadow in the Poconos
For a minute, I thought the grasshopper was a spider and I was ready to say Dum te dumdum! Like your story I think Grasshopper, Jr. just wanted in on the picture!
Thanks for the confirmation Small Wonders (So many different kinds of leafhoppers)
