These guys were bouncing all over the place in Hanson, MA yesterday. What species is it?
CLOSED: Crazy Looking Grasshopper
This appears to be a Carolina 'locust' (aka Carolina grasshopper); Dissosteira carolina (Orthoptera: Acrididae) - see http://tinyurl.com/m8a33f for an example. Their background color can be quite variable.
