    Found this one alive in a crate that originally came from Italy and has been in Ireland for at least 4 months. Which one is it and should I 'dispose' of it?

    I'd say locust. Contact Biodiversity Ireland, they may ask you to post it to them for identification/storage/destruction (if I'm not mistaken, it's an invasive species).
