newborn Melanoplus
I can't tell which species for sure. It might be easy to identify if more information was published on nymphs from that part of the world, but I haven't seen it if it exists. If you can keep your eye on them as they grow, you might be able to document which species it is (and we could all learn a bit more !)

Cute little thing.

The pattern in the eyes make me think likely Melanoplus lakinus.
