A species of Hapithus

The jumping Bush Cricket gets its common name, 'Jumping Bush Cricket', from its habit of jumping when startled.

The insect is most active in the late summer.

Habitat Preferences of Jumping Bush Cricket Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of jumping Bush Cricket are typically deposited in soil or plant tissue, often in a safe and moist environment optimal for incubation. Nymphs, upon hatching, are usually found in similar microhabitats as the eggs, foraging for food and taking shelter under rocks or organic debris close to the ground. Adult jumping Bush Cricket, due to their fully developed wings, can be located in a wider range of areas, such as grassy fields, gardens, and around outdoor lighting, where they feed and engage in mating rituals. To search for them, one should carefully inspect the soil surface and under objects on the ground for the early stages while checking vegetation and light sources for adult specimens.
