    The thing had the head of an ant, the body of a bee and the legs of a grasshopper or something....

          it almost looks larval, I wonder if it is immature?

          it looks locust-like, maybe nocturnal? very interesting...

              It's a cricket. I was bit by one of those fuckers once. Didn't get any special powers, though.

                        I'd say it's a Female Cricket, They vary in different shapes, and seeing how its a dark place in your garage...They tend to be nocturnal and are often confused with grasshoppers because they have a similar body structure.

                                                                                      Q: I have potato bugs in my vegetable garden. How can I rid myself of these pesky critters?

                                                                                      A: Drench your entire yard with gasoline and set it ablaze. Once the fire has burned itself out and the ground has cooled, cultivate the soil to a depth of seven feet, saturate the area with battery acid and top the surface with gasoline. After a few minutes, most of the surviving potato bugs, now irritated, will burrow up for air. Set the yard on fire again, and let it burn itself out. The remaining bugs should be crisped. Add water. Only then, and only maybe, will you rid yourself of potato bugs.

                                                                                      --from potatobugs.com

Walking back I saw what i thought was a clump of hair that must have fallen off my shoulders while getting the broom... picked it up and it started to vibrate! it was one of those creepy fuckers. I screamed like a woman and started smacking it with the broom. fucker just wouldn't die. I ended up taking him out to the yard with a dustpan... the whole time he was still trying to get me, even though he was badly disfigured from the broom attack. I set him in the yard and about 30 minutes later I saw a bird fly off with him. I hate those fucking bugs.

                                                                                              here I thought all insectoids were bugs, but I guess not
