Saltamontes verde - a photo on Flickriver

Saltamontes verde

            No soy capaz de identificar la especie, me parece que podría ser una ninfa de Locusta migratoria, pero no estoy seguro, así que cualquier indicación será bienvenida.
Los saltamontes son herbívoros que sirven de alimento para aves, reptiles y mamíferos y actúan como controladores del crecimiento de la vegetación. A veces, como en el caso de las Locusta migratoria en su fase gregaria, cuando forman enjambres pueden afectar regiones muy grandes con su consumo de vegetación y destruir cultivos enteros, causando graves problemas económicos y alimentarios.
Pueden cambiar de color dependiendo de su entorno y etapa de desarrollo.
Algunas especies se comunican entre sí frotando sus alas.

I'm unable to identify the species. I think it could be a Locusta migratoria nymph, but I'm not sure, so any information would be welcome.
Grasshoppers are herbivores that feed on birds, reptiles, and mammals and act as controllers of vegetation growth. Sometimes, as in the case of Locusta migratoria in its gregarious phase, when they form swarms, they can affect very large regions with their consumption of vegetation and destroy entire crops, causing serious economic and food problems.
They can change color depending on their environment and stage of development.
Some species communicate with each other by rubbing their wings together.
