This thing is on my bedroom ceiling. WTF is it? Its body is about 1½ inches long.

It's a cricket. GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

Other options are far more enticing.

Especially if those options are more than 1 1/2 inches long.

It's cricketing from inside your house. The Essex Constabulary will meet you outside your front door, madam. You were right to dial 9-9-9.

It was an oak bush cricket. It's gone now, I managed to get it outside. At 4.30am.

I thought crickets were black and grasshoppers green--but wikipedia says no.

... I'm at work and that sort of thing is frowned on here. Come to mention it, so is visiting here, but sleeping is far more obvious.
