Hi Bob - Thanks! Actually, I'm on the road traveling across Canada at the moment and won't be back at my place for months so don't have my books, etc.. to ID grasshoppers. Sorry that isn't much help! - bev

Bev: You have the finest grasshopper site I have found. Nice work. But, I still can't find the critter I shot anywhere, is there a way to send you a jpeg and see if you can id it?
