I tried to find out what kind of bug it is, but I think I looked at too many insectphotos and now I'm gonna have bug nightmares tonight. So I have given up the search.

I AM SORRY FOR BUG NIGHTMARES!

It looks like the bastard child of a hornet and an ant

IT DOES, which is why I was afraid to touch it. 8(

Was it this? (http://www.easypedia.gr/el/images/shared/d/d0/Mole_cricket.jpg)

Mmmm no, it didn't quite have that shape, those forearms or a big hooded back like that. D:a

I WISH I STILL HAD MY BUG BOOK. Hrm. The lack of wings makes me think it must be some sort of larval or nymph form of something, but of what, I don't know

UGH, that would mean it gets even bigger, and that's not a fun thought. D8

...That looks like it should be an Avatar bug (and with a name like that it should be XD)

mole crickets are pretty adorable not gonna lie

XD kinda creepy to me but hey could be worse.

hahah I love bugs. I AM A STRANGE PERSON THOUGH

THAT'S OKAY someone needs to love them XD

Cloverfeeler. o.o

I WILL NOT GIVE IT RAMEN

THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT IT WANTED.

whats_that_bug has a ton of awesome people that can identify all sorts of bugs :Db

IT'S PIKA-

Actually, I think it might be a velvet ant. Was it making any kind of audible noise? Like beeping?

Nope, no audible noise, just pathetic wriggling. D: But it looks like it's actually PIKA a potato bug.

Reminds me of the first time I saw what I think looks like a house centipede but the things are more the size of This.

Needless to say, I still hate those things and they're like... everywhere. Oh... and they're fast buggers. Like to the point that you're leaping around getting an excersize avoiding it / catching it / killing it.

UUUUGH, I'm so glad I've never seen any centipedes around here. D8 I think centipedes would get me shrieking far more than bugs or spiders ever could do.

y-yeah... they're so creepy D8 we have a bunch and I would just like to spray our garage with like... raid or something. 8(

Potato bug. They are terrifying and awful, but I'm not even sure if they can do any type of damage. Look it up on google. Try to avoid pics. YUCK.

But that is for sure what it was. I had to come across one once. Oh my god. Nightmarish.

JERUSALEM CRICKET. That's what I was trying to think of before, not mole cricket. askjdaksjlska.

Okay, I googled it and you're right, it is a potato bug. Somehow I thought potato bugs looked different from that. D: YUCK IS RIGHT

hahaha your potato bug doodle is so cute-looking like it could start doing a little tapdance for pennies

This bug would be more like the bum on the street corner going I WAS A WAR VET, LEAVE PENNIES 8

Right at the end someone posted potato bug. Darn I thought I was gonna get to be smart... *sadface*

It's still more than what I knew, so you're still smart?!

haha! ^_^ Thanks! I'm just not fast then! XD

From Wikipedia, with my commentary in brackets:

Jerusalem crickets (genus Stenopelmatus) are a group of large (body length up to 69 millimetres (2.7 in)), flightless insects native to the western United States, along the Pacific Coast, and south into Mexico. [JERUSALEM CRICKET! Sounds like a Victorian/Western Expletive..]

Because of their large, human-like head, they are commonly called niño de la tierra (Spanish for "child of the earth"), Earth baby, cara de niño (Spanish for "child's face"), wó see ts'inii (Navajo for "skull insect"), or old bald-headed man. [THEY HAVE A NAME IN NAVAJO. THAT IS AWESOME.] [ALSO CALLING IT CHILD'S FACE IS CREEPY] They are also often called potato bugs.

Despite their name, Jerusalem crickets are neither true crickets nor true bugs [THEN WHAT *ARE* THEY OMGGGGGGG] and they do not prefer potatoes for food. [THEY PREFER THE SOULS OF THEIR ENEMIES] Active only at night, LIKE VAMPIRES the insects use their strong mandibles to feed primarily on dead organic material [THEY WILL EAT YOU WHEN YOU DIE] but can also eat other insects. [OMFG I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE SOULS OF THEIR ENEMIES] Their highly adapted feet are used for burrowing beneath moist soil to feed on decaying root plants and tubers.

Ok. I am so creeped out now. Off to bed....lovely ;)

DUDE THAT THING DOES NOT HAVE A BABY FACE. It has a giant ant face on a giant bee butt with giant cricket legs. 8(

So wait it's mostly like they feed on the souls of potatoes?! NOW I AM GLAD WE DON'T HAVE ANY POTATOES IN OUR YARD. D:

Even Sunshine sniffed it and looked like "Man this thing is creepy, I'm leaving it the hell alone!"
