ID help on grasshoppers

Hell-Spawn

Fourth Instar
Caught in NY. Are these differential grasshoppers? Are they toxic, like a lubber?

Do you have any shots from the top? I'm thinking either Melanoplus differentialis or Melanoplus bivittatus. Leaning towards M. bivittatus. Nope, they aren't toxic like lubbers unless they've been feeding on toxic plants.

 
My thought was differntialis as well, thanks. And yep, I have a couple more shots:

I realize this is several months overdue but I can confirm that these are two-striped grasshoppers, Melanoplus bivittatus femoratus.
