So on Halloween night I see this creepy huge insect next to my car. What the heck is it?

As reference that's the tire of an SUV next to it

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

LMAO!!!!

its a bee....
its a roach...

its fukin creepy is what it is :helpme

Nothing to worry about its a type of Cricket.

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

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

problem solved !!!

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

Its the new insect called Anthopper AlienQ invented. We are still waiting for a press release, but its being spellchecked by a 3rd grader at the moment

Could be huh....

i dunno but my mantis would fuck its shit up!

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.

its called a potato bug

Effin' cricket man!!!!! :winkwink:
