Eastern Lubber Grasshopper
Hi Sue,
This large flightless grasshopper is known as the Eastern Lubber Grasshopper, Romalea microptera. There is both a light and dark variation. You may read more about the Eastern Lubber Grasshopper on BugGuide.
Thank you very much, I suspected it was an Eastern Lubber but wasn’t positive so thank you for the confirmation!
