A grasshopper on "grass" :)

This good lookin' insect has been hanging out in my Pit Boss plant (Chemdawg x Mob Boss - supposedly a sativa dominant strain although this plant is expressing a more balanced hybrid phenotype) for the last few days . I know grasshoppers are herbivorous so I probably shouldn't just let it hang out in my plants but I like the way it looks too much to kill it. I'm not sure it is actually eating the marijuana leaves anyway.

This is what your grasshopper looks like on drugs. Any questions?

I have not been able to identify the exact species of grasshopper here - one complicating factor while identifying grasshoppers is that they grow through multiple nymphal forms, with each molt looking more and more like the adult but only the adults having wings. I can't tell if this is a grasshopper nymph or an adult short winged grasshopper (which have short forewings and fold their longer hindwings up under them).
