An unidentified insect. Grasshopper? I doubt it.
Segon, I photographed an insect that I can not identify. I'm not helped even by Google search by picture and Yandex search. All of them indicate that it is a grasshopper. But, there is one big, I will say great, BUT! Where are the hind paws?
Even if, to assume that this grasshopper's larva, or locusts, should have hind legs, anyway! As you can see, there are not. If you have any assumptions, or you know what kind of insect this is, I'd be happy to hear from you, or read your comment.
This insect was inactive. we can assume that the storm was still cool and the insect had not yet warmed to the sun and was sluggish.
I was able to bring the lens of the camera close to this representative of the realm of insects.
If it's a grasshopper, then he does not have hind legs, and he does not have ears. This, some deaf-mute and legless grasshopper, without pain in his heart to look at it hard. Just kidding, I think that we will soon find out who he is and what his name is. I very much doubt that such an insect was left without attention. I saw descriptions of many types of grasshoppers, but I did not even find anything close.
In the meantime, it's not good to leave a representative of wildlife without a name, let's do what Adam did. Let's give him a name, let it be, Flint locusts in honor of a one-legged pirate.

That might be a victim of what my childhood used to be. We catch grasshoppers and play with them. The poor creatures unfortunately end up either with missing legs or broken wings when they try to fly away and we still catch them. Those were the days... 😃
That one on your photo look so old and almost look like this without the hind legs. It could really have lost its hind legs.

Thank you very much @macoolette ! It may well be such an option)) But, there is one more difference. I did not talk about him. Look at the front paws. They are turned in the opposite direction, not like grasshoppers and locusts. In grasshoppers, the knee joints of the front paws are turned forward, and in this insect, they are turned back, like the elbows of a man.
Put it up on a contest. Maybe someone will diligently research about it. 😃
