Differential Grasshopper (Melanoplus diferentialis)?
Resting on foliage at a forested edge of an overgrown backyard habitat.
BugGuide states that it has records in the Southeast, but many other sites state that this grasshopper is not typically distributed here. Going to do some more research!

The differential grasshopper is a species of grasshopper belonging to the genus "Melanoplus" found throughout northern Mexico, central United States and southern Ontario, Canada. It is considered a pest in most of its range.
