Hello,
While working in my garden, I came across this insect. At first I thought it was a juvenile horse lubber grasshopper but it does not match the pictures I’ve seen of the nympths. Can you identify this critter?

Barber Pole Grasshopper
Dear Curious,
Of all the names associated with Dactylotum bicolor, commonly called the Painted Grasshopper or the Rainbow Grasshopper, our favorite is Barber Pole Grasshopper. It also goes by the names Uncle Sam and Pictured Grasshopper.
