Scudder's Short-winged Grasshopper - Melanoplus scudderi
Snowhill Road north of Cabin Branch Creek, Durham County, North Carolina, USA

Slightly dorsal view shows that those very short wings do come near to each other on the back. This is supposed to be a characteristic of M. scudderi--see print references in guide page.
