User's notes
This grasshopper looks a bit like a yellow version of the one at sighting 4672678. This one also has a knobbly texture to its body which seems amplified by the minute black marks peppering it. It differs also in having just 2 black patches on the top surface of the rear upper legs, 2 separate black lines running down the middle of the dorsal thorax and partway down the mid-top area of above the abdomen. I’m wondering if there is also any relationship between this specimen, and those at some other sightings: 4672683, 4672689 &/ 4672719.
