Differential Grasshopper

I have seen more grasshoppers this summer than ever before. Must be the dry weather. With the help of a field guide, I now know two species names. This one with the herringbone pattern on the leg is a Differential Grasshopper.

He looks similar (at least the leg) to some I've seen in the past around here. Terrific focus on him.

Great capture. Sort of like our lubber grasshoppers, but you can see the differences pretty easily.
