Field Notes

Description:

I caught this little green fella hanging on my tomatoes and beans. Can someone help identify him? Is it a grasshopper or a cricket?? It is so tiny!

This little guy is a grasshopper nymph. I think it is most likely a Bird Grasshopper, Genus Schistocerca. I don't know if you will be able to get it to a species ID, though. Here is a link that may help: http://bugguide.net/node/view/336/bgpage
