Las Vegas, NV, backyard grasshopper. Seen morning and evening on sides of building or in vegetation - Capnobotes fuliginosus - Male
Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, USA

The eyes on this adult are much different than the nymphs I've seen feeding inthe rose bushes. The nymphs and really green winged relatives (I think) of this one have vertically striped eyes. These eyes are much different. Do the eyes change developmentally?
