Orangewinged Grasshopper Nymph? - Spharagemon cristatum
Tavares, Lake County, Florida, USA
May 2, 2006
Size: 1" approx
This grasshopper looks very similar to the last one I found in the same area a week or two ago - only smaller and has no blue on the legs (he does have the orange)
He also seems to have a ridged back.

Will he grow up to be like this one I took a photo of just a few feet away from him:
