Can say that it's a Band-wing, and related
to, and perhaps in the genus Trimerotropis, but I don't know the species around the Bay area quite well enough to say which one it is. Best guess at the moment would be T. occidentalis.

Nymph
This is a nymph, so good luck even getting beyond subfamily despite the superior image.

subfamily?
I'll take family for now. Acrididae?
