Did you spot the locust in this morning’s post? I thought it was a hard one. Below is the reveal as well as an enlargement. Gary, who sent the photo, says this:
Best guess, Trimerotropis pallidipennis, the pallid-winged grasshopper. It looks like the critter. They are a very common grasshopper in the SW and have a huge range, from B.C. to Argentina.

After seeing the reveal, I feel better at not being able to find it.
I missed that one. I stopped searching after I found what appears to be a green one (slightly smaller). Next time I’ll know to keep scanning the whole image!
There is a second one in the photo! Look at about a 45 degree angle from the circled one, or between the 1 and 2 o’clock position.
