Hi Christine.

That grasshopper that is giving you grief is the Differential grasshopper, Melanoplus differentialis. They are a bit smaller, 1.75 inches, that the lubbers here, but look to be every bit as hungry. The Lubber and the Eastern Lubber get to about 4 inches in length. Those are great pictures by the way. Here is some info for you on yours.
