You're right. It's probably not an aphid but it's a bug for sure :)

yes, looks like a small bug (order: Hemiptera) as it is a juvenile (has wing buds which indicates that it does not undergo complete meatmorphosis like the beatles do).

Lovely, spur-throated grass hoper. Femails of this species are relatively parge, with the males only groing half of their size
