Mt Mansfield, Central County, Vermont, USA
August 20, 2007
Size: about 2 inches long
I don't see wings so I am guessing nymph stage, but all the "browse" photos seem to be of adults, so I can't figure out which one.

Booneacris glacialis
Fairly sure this is a female of this species. It likely is an adult, but could be a last instar nymph as well (I don't know the difference in coloration between nymph and adult in this species. This species lacks wings.
