The grasshoppers seem to be in huge numbers this year. At least it's one insect that isn't declining in numbers.
Melanoplus sp. maybe. The flower (prairie fleabane) is about half an inch/10 mm across - I didn't realize this was a grasshopper until I saw it on the screen. Spotted at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center...
This 2-striped grasshopper has purple-brown eyes but I took the shot when the sun hit the insect and the eyes glowed red. The bug has two yellow stripes running down its back, so it's called 2-striped. It's a pest all over North America. In Explore, March 25, 2020, photo 245.
Taken in the early morning near the village of Cantobre in the Cevennes national park, France.
I think the Id is right for this, there are numerous species of grasshoppers often with variable colours and patterns, so getting an id too a bit longer than usual.
Best viewed very large.

The Meadow Grasshopper (Chorthippus parallelus) is a resident of mainly damp, unimproved pastures and meadows, moors and marshes. It is mostly green in colour, with a dark grey-brown stripe running across the flank to the eye, but brown and purplish forms also occur. It has short forewings that do not reach to the end of its abdomen and are particularly short in females, making it predominantly flightless. It is the most common and widespread grasshopper in England, Wales and Scotland.
They are often eaten by spiders, and can be parasitized by flies and attacked by fungi.
Brad and Brody, this one is for you! Now this particular Very rare species of grasshopper was part of the Big Bugs Outdoors collection of bugs. The sculptures are created by artist David Rogers using various combinations of found or fallen trees, cut green saplings selectively harvested from the willow family, dry branches, and other forest material. I think this grasshopper was at least 10 feet long so it was a very large one for sure! This collection of bugs is on display at the Glen Burnie Gardens which are part of the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. I say it's for you Brad and Brody because you both posted very fine photos of grasshoppers on the exact same day. (15 days ago according to Flickr) I thought that was pretty cool. :) So this was My Grasshopper photo! LOL Have a great day everyone!

The stubby-tailed and bull-necked Grasshopper Sparrow is easy to overlook throughout its range. When not singing its quiet, insectlike song from atop a stalk in a weedy pasture, it disappears into the grasses where it usually runs along the ground rather than flies. As sparrows go these birds are lightly marked, buffy tan with clean, unstreaked underparts contrasting with brown, gray, and orange above. The flat head, with an almost comically large bill for such a small bird, completes the distinctive look.

On a warm day they are not the easiest, because they jump fast. But I got lucky and shot this one and within a fraction of a second it was gone. So this is a grasshopper in full jumpmode.
I saw large numbers of grasshoppers in Clemson's meadow this morning. It was just too hot to get a sample photo of each species. Would be a good project on a cooler day.

Curious grasshopper with personality plus, showing off his long legs. I think this is a Meadow Grasshopper, they have the very long legs.
