That's not a grasshopper. Close though. Looks to be some type of Leaf hopper. The coloration is not familiar to me, but I am East coast so not familiar with all area's bugs. Shouldn't eat your plant, and I stress shouldn't. If you start to notice eaten edge you obviously should start to worry, but until then, peace !
upon closer inspection of said grasshopper. I would have to agree with wannabe grower, notice the back, larger, jumping legs are not present. I am so stoned! lol

I know it's not a threat, I've seen them for months now, & there has been no consumption of my plant. 1 drop of dish soap in a spray bottle has kept my plant safe!!!
