It sure doesn't look like one; differential grasshoppers were very common where I grew up, and I never saw a green one. I may have to get back to you later on this one.

I've seen Differential GHs at this spot before, but that was in the fall.

I must admit not being terribly confident about this, but your specimen does resemble the northern green-striped grasshopper, Chortophaga viridifasciata (Orthoptera: Acrididae) - see http://tinyurl.com/2dxkvk2 for an image.
