Hi I have the same question - just saw one tonight. Pic is located on my webpage. http://gneissmoonastrology.net/2012/07/25/8208/ Also please, why are grasshopper feet so oddly shaped ? Thanks

Hi, I had our entomologist look at the grasshopper and he could not ID it to species but he does think it is a nymph and most books don't address the nymph stage of the insect so that is why the color is so vivid etc. As far as why the legs are oddly shaped, don't know.
