male Dissosteira carolina
Melanoplus punctulatus is a smaller animal, usually more grey, and found in/on pine trees. See . This guy is Dissosteira, recognized by the one large cut in the pronotum. It should have had black wings with a pale border. This is a much more active, flighty, sun-loving species.

Moved from Pine Tree Spur-throat Grasshopper.
