Looks like one of those assassins bugs. Be careful, they give you chaga and you die eventually...
Looks like a grasshopper to me but I'm not an entomologist
Here's Triatomine bug identification help:
CDC - Chagas Disease - General Information - Vector Information
Chagas Disease general information.
CDC - Chagas Disease - Detailed FAQs
Detailed Fact Sheet about Chagas Disease, Triatomine bugs, Kissing Bugs, fact sheets, information for special groups, prevention and control, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment.
Hope that helps.

We get assassin bugs occasionally, I don’t think that’s one, I’ll go with grasshopper as well.

Need some Bt-k or Bt-a, thats most effective against the young ones. Older ones are hard to kill. If you have a plauge around the yard, then consider bait balls with BT or Nolo bait.
Probably ought to use a knockdown spray to kill the tiny ones and eggs, (soapy water with garlic oil, spinosad, etc) then use the Bt for IPM.
Bt with DE or Kaolin clay and essential oils makes a good mix for outdoors, helps protect Bt from UV degradation.
