The garden is alive with these bugges. I suspect Mormon crickets, sending out the question to inaturalst though. Moby seems to have regained some weight and (unearned) confidence. He’s back to walking off the edge of the first porch step. Bolder moving around the garden, but he still isn’t seeing properly. I do try to warn him, which he sometimes accepts.
Addendum:
Differential Grasshopper Melanoplus differentialis

Grasshoppers. They are smaller versions of biblical locusts, and swarms of them used to decimate the grain fields on the American prairies...where they were also called locusts. They make good fish baits.
Nice photos of them!
Mormons know all about that. Seagulls saved ‘em. Never eaten one, but I understand they’re edible.
