Friend or Foe?
 I don't see any leaf damage, but I am inclined to ask him to leave. |

It is like a grasshopper, but shorter in body than what I think of as a grasshopper. I thought maybe someone might know what they are...

I think it's just a grasshopper. Maybe a young version?

FOE!
If it is a grasshopper or relative they will eat plants or tomatoes. Could be an enemy scout. Kill him and mount him on a stick as a warning to the others....

 I love seeing the complexities of nature up close; And yes I would be wearing gloves.
