eek - you got lost!
It is not a grasshopper, and not a nymph, but an adult beetle! Start [url}http://bugguide.net/node/view/14525/bgimage]here[/url] to look for a match . . .

 
wow!
wow! I'll say I was lost.....I usually can get the right neighborhood at least....:) thank you both for getting me on the right track. I thought october was a little late for grasshopper nymphs but couldn't think what else it looked like...so many suprises for me in the insect world..everytime i think i am getting a bit of an idea of what i am looking at I get a surprise!

 
Neoclytus mucronatus.
The spines at the tip of the hind tibia help ID this species. Don't feel bad, longhorns of this ilk often get mistaken for something else.
