Shistocerca shoshone - Schistocerca shoshone - Female
Rio Grande, Los Lunas, Valencia County, New Mexico, USA
September 13, 2007
Some call it a subspecies of S. alutacea. I am confused by the nomenclature and the priorities of names at this point, but I agree that they probably are the same species. This is the form common in riparian areas of the west, bright green with red hind tibiae, and often no yellow stripe on top.

Yep, your too quick. I did it at work, realized what I had done on the way home, changed it as soon as home, but you noticed right away! Very attentive editing!
