I see these Grasshoppers Mostly at The End Of Summer. If This is the same species, The Darn Things Bite Hard. Every time Im Hunting I Have to keep Bug spray with me, just so they wont bite Me. They Hurt and are persistent biters.

to this, and more photos posted might help to figure out which one this is. I have never had anything closely related to this bit me hard enough to feel (and they don't try to bite unless you are handling them), but if you grab some of the larger Katydids, they can bit pretty hard (again they don't bite unless defending themselves). This particular one is of a basic type that tends to be pretty shy and hide in the weeds or brush more often than not. They are often hard to photograph (because they are very alert), and they are even harder to catch.

Late in the year is indeed often when these are most noticeable, perhaps because vegetation is starting to dry and they congregate in the best places in larger numbers. However, they usually hatch (roughly) in late spring and mature in early summer.

I still haven't given up on figuring out exactly which species this is.

To Me, Bugs are hard to figure Out. If this species is not the Biting ones, Can You Think of a persistence Biter?
It is Cold here now and The grasshoppers are in diapaus.
I will Have to Photograph these Grasshoppers that Bite really hard without provoking. I seem to be on the menu and pursued.
I was sure it was this insect or very similar. we do see a lot of these.
But In Any Case. The Grasshoppers that Bite during Hunting, are persistent and irritating.
They look so pretty until you realize the Darn thing is hunting you. I would never handle them to provoke it.
So If one jumps on me, I just would flick them away.
It wouldn't be long before the Darn Thing would climb back and hop on me again.
I also observed these Grasshoppers Going after one another. I Don't know if they were breeding, because this would be Oct western Middle Tennessee. we were seeing high thirty's and they were still active.
