I haven't seen these in the park in almost three years. Shot this one in nearly the same place as my original post, i.e. just down the trail from the butterfly garden.

Thought I'd add
that this one is a boy, and the previous one is a girl; so, now there's a pair.

Nice addition, David.
Both are on a county natural history website, and we do like pairs there.

What a beauty!
And a significantly better image (from an ID standpoint) than your previous shots... I would love to get to see one of these for myself.

They have a very streamlined look and are fairly approachable.
Finding these was a matter of luck. There happened to be a lot of grasshoppers out today, and this happened to be one of them, though it did stand out.
