Dan, Sure. Haven't found any references where the family Acrididae is broken down into genus and species yet though.
Dan Doucette
Thanks Joe, that looks like the right family.
Joey99
Dan, I think these may be short-horned grasshoppers of the family Acrididae. Haven't gotten it down lower than that yet.
Dan Doucette
Yeah, definitely looks the same. Let me know if you get an ID as they mature.

Your nymph looks identical to the ones I am watching daily now. Go here for the photos of the ones I took pics of: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/219456012 I don't know the species yet. Joe
