I've fallen into that trap again. These are nymphs of Acrida conica. Too many antenna segments to be Ks. Also stripes on side of head and vestiges of wing pads that will gradually enlarge at each instar.

Ah, I thought they at first and then when they're were a number of smaller ones in the same spot, just like the Keyacris I changed my mind!
