A last instar nymph of a Bird Grasshopper
It's very hard to tell species of the nymphs apart. However, this one has a bit of a "different" look, and I'm guessing, based on the shape and coloring that it is
S. damnifica
(and I might be totally wrong too, but I think I'm correct). This is one of the most distinctive species of the genus that occurs in the U.S., and this one matches quite nicely.
