Differential
Grasshopper (two photos)
Melanoplus differentialis

This Differential Grasshopper is missing a left hind leg and you
can barely see the yellow right one.
Yellow hind legs with a herringbone pattern are traits of this
species. ©

I assume this is a freshly-molted Differential Grasshopper. It
is a gorgeous color. © Carol Davis, 9-7-2009
