I have been finding a lot of grasshoppers recently, and I was just wondering if they were the same species?
The second and last pictures are of the larger one I have (too big for the camera I have to take a full body picture), the third one is the size difference between the 2 (managed to get the smaller one in just under the abdomen of the larger. I think the fist guy (smaller) is a nymph (judging by size) and unfortunately I still do not know IDing beyond adult so any help would be very helpful
