    Never seen anything like this... It would be easier to identify if you have images from different angles. Not very sure, but I think this must be the nymph (young stage) of some insect like a cricket or something...??

    The 2nd image is sharper. Looks like a cricket to me, but not sure I'm afraid...

    Abhishek, pls don't get afraid

    Hi Hari, it strongly resembles with Northern Mole Cricket.

    After all this is subject to confirmation

    Abhishek, may do further research
    Thanks & Regards

    It doesn't have the northern mole cricket's typical mole-like front legs... However this at least seems to prove that it is a cricket
    I'd say I'm sure this is a cricket nymph... which species of cricket it is will be quite difficult to tell. Maybe you could browse around on the net for some further research if you're interested...
    Great find.
