Male Admirable Grasshopper

A good distance away from the female admirable, I found this grasshopper. It was smaller, a different color and I was at a different angle, so I thought it was some other species. Turned out to be the same new species and the other gender. Females are green & males are brown. What are the odds of not only finding a new grasshopper species, but finding both the male and the female with them being about 50 plus feet apart? Nice. The males of this species are great flyers.
