There are 2 grasshoppers here and think theyre different species?

The larger one might be a 5th instar Chortoicetes terminifera because of the antennae size x mark on too but others have that and I cant see all the legs ... and maybe the other smaller one is Praxibulus sp. ?

I hadn't seen the second hopper! The one in front is the one for the record.
