What Is This Insect?

[laineyloo]

Please help me identify this fellow, he scared the life out of us and i really didnt want to harm him but we were unsure if that is a stinger coming out his bottom!

Thanks in advance

It's a harmless bush cricket ;-)

No, just a (ex)cricket.

Cicada is very different

OP, What you think is a sting is the ovipositor of a female. Harmless in crickets.

I never realised crickets were soo big

Good to eat, and you can use the feelers for flossing.

Is she dead or just sleeping? Whats the brown liquid splattered near the body?

I used to go out every night when i stayed in Isan and catch these and then get them cooked up with some baby sweetcorn and sticky rice.

They taste really good.
