... as you seem to know your bugs. Could you tell me if this is a baby grasshopper or not?

Hi Norbs - nice shots :)

This is a juvenile katydid (Tettigoniidae), closely related to grasshoppers (ie in the same Order, but different family)....
sorry, not sure of the genus :?
But you were spot on :) (well, close enough)

Hugs
Rel

Beautiful shots - nice angles. The second one is cool - nice pose from the .... thing .... katydid!

Thanks Rel. I will just call it a grasshopper for simplicity sake.

Thanks all, for the kind words too.
