Differential Grasshopper

This grasshopper was located on the Lake Michigan shore in the Peninsula. I was looking for chipmunks and gave up because the chickmunks were not cooparative, so I decided to take a walk by the water. There wasn't really water, it was mostly dry when I found this little guy. The weather was great, sunny and windy, about 85°F. This is a Differential Grasshopper also known as Melanoplus Differentialis, commonly found all over North America.
