Short-horned grasshhopper (Acrididae)

I found this very small but unusual looking grasshopper at the Nortel woods just over a week ago. I haven't had time to try and ID it, but thought I'd post it as it is such an interesting looking little critter.

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS
1/80s f/2.8 at 5.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Solidly built! You've dealt well with the bright background to get a good exposure.

Mr. Grasshopper looks a tad pudgy with its well-filled abdomen. Maybe feeding for winter!
