Leaf-footed bug

At closer look I realized this is not a full fledged adult yet...the wings are not the full length of the body. If it was an adult we could better tell what species it is.

You have a leaf-footed bug in your raspberries. There are many species, some that feed on plants and some that feed on other insects. Many in this family of insects give off an unpleasant odor when touched.
As far as eating the little ones, the formerly orange colored ones, look much like this adult you have a picture of, except they do not have the wings that cover the whole back, and they are much smaller. You would be able to taste them if you take a bite as they would taste like they smell when touched...nasty!
Hope that helps.
