I hope that it is not a Rocky Mountain locust. Back in July of 1875, there was a swarm about 1,800 miles long, 110 miles wide, from Canada down to Texas. Be careful bro.

 In 1875, People said the locusts descended like a driving snow in winter. They  covered everything in their path. They sounded like thunder or a train  and blanketed the ground, nearly a foot deep. Trees bent over with the  weight of them. They ate nearly every living piece of vegetation in  their path. They ate harnesses off horses and the bark of trees,  curtains, clothing that was hung out on laundry lines. They chewed on  the handles of farm tools and fence posts and railings. Some farmers  tried to scare away the locusts by running into the swarm, and they had  their clothes eaten right off their bodies.

That looks like a good ole' piece of trotline bait! It's just a grasshopper! My parents live up around Weatherford, and they have hundreds of thousands of them this year.
