Hello all, took this in my backyard (Upstate NY) and unsure of what type of species of hopper it is. Anyone able to point me to a link or ID to help with my curiosity? Thank you in advance!

I've never seen a red instar before. I know that pink ones will occur. I'm guessing that it is a Carolina grasshopper. http://bugguide.net/no​de/view/68112/bgimage (external link) You can pretty much tell the species right off because of the deep notch in the pronotal crest. Of course, I am not an expert, so you may still want to submit it to www.bugguide.net (external link) for verification purposes. I know that they would be interested in it, as the color is not that common.

Thank you replies everyone, over on bugguide they thought the same as you drevilsmom. Have never seen one that color around here before.

Quote from bugguide: a last instar nymph of the Carolina Grasshopper - Dissosteira carolina

My wife said pretty much the same thing, snails :p
