Atlantic Grasshopper (?) - Paroxya atlantica - Male Female
Albany Nursery WMA, Dougherty County, Georgia, USA
November 20, 2020
Paroxya atlantica - Atlantic Grasshopper (?)

I think the antennae are longer than length of (head + pronotum).
I included the 4th photo that shows antennae length at perhaps a better angle.
Abdomen: Yellowish. 2nd photo is best ventral shot I had.
Tibiae: Bluish (see photos-especially male in 2nd photo)
Dorsal: 3rd photo was best dorsal shot I had.

Please FRASS any/all not needed for guide.

Habitat:
Within 100 meters of two swampy areas.
Field managed for dove. Low vegetation, field mustard and beggars ticks.

Melanoplus femurrubrum / M. propinquus does not seem
to fit as well, but I am certainly no expert.
