"Mormon" is a nickname for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - and the Church only accepts humans for membership. So, there are no Mormon insects.

There is a species of katydid nicknamed the "Mormon cricket" because a plague of them destroyed Mormon crops in the late 1840's. The Mormon cricket can grow to three inches long. It cannot fly but can travel up to two kilometers a day. It may be black, brown, red, purple, or green. It has long antennae and females have a long ovipositor. They are known to swarm with millions of others in densities up to 100 per square meter, which devastates crops and can cover highways. Some studies have shown that they may be cannibalistic.

What organism does not poses features that identify them as an arachnid?

Organisms such as insects do not possess features that identify them as arachnids. Unlike arachnids, which have eight legs and two main body segments (the cephalothorax and abdomen), insects have six legs and three body segments (head, thorax, and abdomen). Additionally, insects typically have antennae, while arachnids do not. These morphological differences clearly distinguish insects from arachnids.
