Hi everyone, I currently have an insect of some kind in my house in southern England that I'm trying to identify. It looks kind of like a grasshopper or a dragonfly but with giant antennae and translucent wings. Pictures are attached, any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Its large hind legs are missing - that’s why it may have looked extra odd to you!
