Spharagemon sp.
This is a female band-winged grasshopper in the genus Spharagemon. The orange hind tibia, strongly-banded forewings (called tegmena), and single notch in the pronotum (top of thorax) are key characters for several species in this genus. They are also very common in that part of the country (I collected many near Forsyth, Taney County, MO).
