The Differential Grasshopper (Melanoplus differentialis) shown on the first image on this page was in Gonzales, Gonzales Co., Texas, in August, 2010. This shot was taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and a Sigma 50-500mm lens and Canon 580 flash. I thank Paul Lenhart at Texas A&M University for identifying some of my grasshopper species from photos.
The next four shots of Differential Grasshopper were taken in Dripping Springs, Hays Co., Texas, in July, 2012, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and an EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 1.4X extender.
