What the ever loving hell is this! In all my years I have NEVER seen a bug like this one. It was about 2 inches long and crawling on the FILs shop floor.

It’s some kind of cricket, I forgot the other part. Google weird cricket?

We can get them bad in the yard. They can wipe out your grass by eating the roots. You will start seeing brown spots in your lawn, like small circles.

Funny that it turned out to be a mole cricket because I thought it's front feet looked mole like. Probably where it got its name.

Disgusting mother fuggers.

After Giles identified it, I looked it up on the internet and it was a pretty interesting read. One part of the article said that they can bite..... here’s part of what I read.....

I found this bastard this morning. ID it and then smashed it.

Had this mad mo fo been in the movie Antz Sylvester Stallone and his army wouldn’t have lasted but a few minutes unless they were in cahoots with some of them badass subterranean assassin motha fuggas.

Ha.. I grew up right across the river from you bud, bugs, snakes, and spiders don't bother me. Hell when I was a kid i'd often have one of those small ring neck red bellied snakes in my pocket. I've seen some weird critters but never one of these though.

Seems like a "new to me" insect pops up every year.
