Green Grasshopper with Short Wings -
Campylacantha olivacea
-
Black Mesa, Cimarron County, Oklahoma, USA
September 15, 2012
It looks like a Short-winged Snakeweed Grasshopper, but it might be in the wrong place for that. Maybe it's a nymph?

They do look a lot alike
This is an adult female of
Campylacantha olivacea
. The wings usually aren't quite this short, but they are almost always short.
They feed on lots of different Composites too, but usually aren't on the same ones as the Snakeweed Grasshopper. On the Plains they are often abundant in short perennial Ragweeds growing along the sides of roads, but they are often very common in various Composite shrubs too.
