Short-horned Grasshopper? - Melanoplus confusus - female

Short-horned Grasshopper? - Melanoplus confusus - Female
Glassboro Woods, Gloucester County, New Jersey, USA
June 19, 2010
Size: ~4cm

although a little more mottled looking than usual
I think this is Melanoplus confusus. It fits this species well, and the early date is also a point in favor of it being this one.

Moved from Melanoplus.
