Oedipodinae
I think I can help a little. More views or better detail of the pronotum (sheild on the back) would make it more certain. As suggested with the other photo, it is probably Dissosteira carolina, but Spharagemon (particularly S. collare) can look very similar. The distinction between them as nymphs can be difficult. If the hind tibiae were showing it would be more obvious (orange or red in the Spharagemon, dull brownish or yellowish in the Dissosteira).

Oedipodinae
Appreciate the info David. I have no other pics of this nymph, but hopefully will see them again this summer, and be able to get better shots. Cheers, Sandy S.

Grasshopper nymph
Hi Eric, The comment by Heimchen on the following was also referring to this reddish nymph. There were lots of these in both colors that day. Hope this helps. Sandy
