It was idk in legs and everything width idk close to two inches? It looked like it had a stinger is what freaked me out out the most..

My 7 ..yearold son was right but i dont see the stinger Looking thing in those pictures? Almost looking like a wasp without wings and legs instead but yes jumped very much like a cricket

the stinger looking thing would be an ovipositor for the female to lay eggs

Cricket. Completely harmless. Great treat for the chickens.

It's sone type of cricket. The stinger thing means it's a female because of how long it is.
