The largest grasshopper species is found in Australia, they are called (appropriately) Giant Grasshoppers and they range from 2.5 to 3 inches long. They are simply the species of grasshopper that are largest on average, in actuality the size is very close to other types of grasshoppers. For instance, there have been locusts (another type of grasshopper) found that are 4 inches long and the record for the largest grasshopper on record is 5 inches long, it lives in Venezuela.

Actually, this is not the largest kind. Though I cannot say what is, a Eastern Lubber Grasshopper found in Florida is 4 inches long on average. And they are ugly suckers too. http://www.wildflorida.com/wildlife/insects/Eastern_Lubber_Grasshopper.php
