Grasshopper (juvenile), possibly a Short-horned grasshopper (Acrididae)

This is a tiny, tiny little creature, about a couple of mm in length, that hopped in front of me as I was looking for insects in some leaf litter in Larose Forest. It is a juvenile grasshopper, and I am uncertain as to the identity, but think it probably belongs to the Acrididae family of short-horned grassphoppers.

So this is what they look like as young 'uns. :) I probably wouldn't freak out if this young grasshopper jumped on me. Great detail. V.
