Not a nymph
This is an adult of a short-winged Melanoplus. Not sure which species, but I'll work on it. Perhaps M. scudderi. Nothing wrong with shots of nymphs, they are just usually really difficult to identify.

Yeah, a NYMPH!
Please get back to us when you have an adult. Thanks:-)

Alrighty.
My bad.

Apologies.
Sorry! I guess if we can get nymphs to genus, now that David Ferguson is here, I can shut up about them:-)
