Psoloessa texana - Texas Spotted Range Grasshopper - Psoloessa texana
Chico Basin Ranch sandy hills area, El Paso County, Colorado, USA
June 10, 2017
Size: <1 inch
Trying to separate this individual from P. delicatula. The hind tibia on this individual are cream colored and not orange. Otherwise the hind femur markings, thorax pattern, and face markings look good for both species.

not certain
The appearance tends to suggest P. delicatula, but the habitat would suggest P. texana.
