She Might Be Laying Eggs - a photo on Flickriver

I usually see these a few feet off the ground on leaves, which is what they would be eating. This one is on the ground with her abdomen out of sight in the leaf litter. Good chance she is laying eggs in the soft dirt. I see a lot of grasshoppers ovipositing in autumn.
