Camouflaged on a house - Melanoplus punctulatus

Camouflaged on a house - Melanoplus punctulatus
Newport, Orleans County, Vermont, USA
August 24, 2007
Found very still on the side of a grey house, apparently it felt well camo'd too, since it stayed still for many pictures. Provided I have the right species (always a good question with my pics...), this looks like the first pic of the sp in Vermont on BugGuide.
