The Gray Hopper

I was watering the plants in our garden when I saw this critter. I would normally see green colored grasshoppers, but this one was so unique because it's gray colored. Although it stayed in its post until I am finished with my chore (before I got my camera), I was only able to take this shot before it hopped away because my cat Oreo checked what I was doing in the garden and his movements cause the critter to hop away.
