Dichromorpha viridis, the short-winged green grasshopper, is a common species of slant-faced grasshoppers found in North America. Males of this grasshopper, as the common name suggests, are mostly green in color with a face that slants dorsally. They are about 14-22 mm in length. The females, however, are typically brown, and usually much larger than the male at around 23-30 mm. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Short-Winged Green Grasshopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Everglades National Park (48 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
