Grasshopper - Arphia xanthoptera - Female
Dixon, Phelps County, Missouri, USA

I found 2 very large grasshoppers yesterday. Both were the flying type but totally different in appearance. They were remarkably calm. Any help in identifying them would be appreciated!

Very nice.
Very nice image of the autumn yellow-winged grasshopper, Arphia xanthoptera. The crest-like pronotum (top of thorax) is diagnostic.

question
Does that mean the black stripe on their papery yellow wings?

Yes
Most members of this subfamily have this. I'm not quite sure which genus you have here but I will try to find out .
