Last week I spotted this guy on an apple gourd that's starting to get moldy from drying out. His body was about 1/2" long with a compact hunched back, long antennae, back legs that reminded me of a cricket, and had a spiked tail like a sword. Any help ID'ing and letting me know whether it's a good bug or not is much appreciated.
