I took it with my Canon digital camera up close of the grasshopper perched on a sugar cane leaf in Turrialba, Costa Rica. All the best Carl.  Thanks for the picture.

It's definitely genus Taeniopoda, a type of lubber grasshopper. It is also a female; I studied my hoppers on an island off the coast of Panama; they're quit common in that general area of the world.
