Unknown?

Really not sure what I have here, but even more interesting is the black "growth" coming out of the side of it. I really can't make out either.

Update: After a bit of research, I found that the growth on the side of this hopper is actually the product of a parasitic wasp. The wasp stings the hopper, paralyzing it briefly while it injects the egg. The growth coming out of the abdomen is the result of the developing larva that has formed a cyst robbing the host of nutrients. This is fatal to the host unfortunately.
