Grasshoppers?

I have had almost all of my lettuce and tomato seedlings eaten by an unknown
pest. At first I thought it was because of cutworms because I have had
problems with them in the past. But I was unable to find any in the ground
near the stubs of the plants. Cutworms also leave the plant toppled over but
the entire plant tops are gone. The pest ramains a mystery but I think it may
be a grasshopper. I found one near my garden which was about 4-5 inches long.
Could this be the pest which is eating my plants?
