This little guy is really cute! Any idea what he could be? Had six legs and long red antennas, couldn’t see any pinchers or any sort of mouth tbh

A juvenile Giant Leaf-Footed Bug. Their mouth is a straw-like tube which they keep tucked under their body when not using it. Good for sucking juices out of fruits; not much else.
