Yea allen we got browns, grays and greens. I got 1 or 2 colors of each color they had. No grays but I'll experiment with a marker. We do have lots of the yellow looking hopper not as brite as the one's I made though. Thanks for the info Allen.

Remember, grasshoppers come in a wild variety of colors.  You might want to try different, darker, colors, like a dark brown / black combo, grey / brown combo, etc.  Keep track what what the grasshoppers in your area look like through the season.  Here, they usually start off as a bright green, start to turn yellow at the height of summer, turn a yellowish-brown in late summer, and finally brown/grey through fall into early winter (I have seen 'hoppers in December here in Okieland).

Dick, that is a great-looking Hopper!  I'd keep the brown thread, makes it look more real, IMHO.
