ID request I am wondering what this is?
Far north coast NSW. Looks like a grasshopper. But has no wings. Was walking not flying/jumping. And has some decent fangs emerging from its bum 😬.
Any help would be appreciated.

We saw this guy in the parking near the road. We picked him and took him to the bush further from the road. He only had 5 legs. Stick insects are my absolute favourites!
