Coming back to this one, I see that I was wrong
It is Chloealtis conspersa. I should have noticed that the coloring is subtly different than on Dichromorpha, notably the hind leg, and the antennae are thicker.

Moved from Short-winged Green Grasshopper.

Dichromorpha viridis - probably
Not 100% certain, but I think it is this species. It is 3rd instar.
