I was told last year by a biologist I met above Sapphire Lake that this is a Mormon Cricket.  This one is not nearly as big as those I saw last year.  I only saw a few this year, but last year there were two to three per square foot.  They were concentrated immediately below the start of the ascent to saddle between D. O. Lee Peak and WCP-9.
