Eastern Lubber Grasshopper – Romalea guttata

While out at Oilwell Grade the other day I found a cluster of Eastern Lubbers in the nymph stage of their life.  At this phase of their life, they are very small and predominantly black with a yellow or orange stripe.

Once mature though they are one of the larger and more colorful of our grasshoppers.
