Red Grasshopper
| Additional Insect Information Grasshopper Pictures Types of Insects |
A couple of adult and nymph grasshoppers have a red or rusty colored body.
The Carolina Grasshopper (Dissosteira carolina) is one species where many individuals show a red form.
It can be found in much of the United States, with the exception of the very southern areas of the United States.
The identification is tentative. The picture could very well show a red nymph of another species.
