Grasshopper Nymph

Grasshopper Nymph

The insect eventually looked like this on that first day.  The little beady eyes made me think that it is a nymph.  I wish I knew for sure.  The ID books don't have nymph pictures.

It looks like it is sitting on top of some other insect in these shots.  At first, I thought that is was eating.  Now, I believe that the "insect" beneath is really exuvia, its former exoskeleton.

The next day, it was still there.  Note the little beady eyes and the long horns.  I think that it might be some kind of grasshopper.  I did not get to go back to look at it on the third day.  I don't know if it will even be there on the fourth.
