| I've never seen one this far north but they're very common in GA where my grandma lives.

| eew that looks like a frog....  Haven't seen those around, thank goodness. I have seen some NASTY looking fly/bee/wasp hybrid things flying around. I killed two in our house (kids leave the door open to go play) and they really freaked me out. I wouldn't even know how to find a picture of it, but I've never seen anything like it before. It had the head of a fly, with the HUGE eyes, but the body of a wasp/bee - big, with a stinger at the end. Wings like a fly... at least an inch and a half long. Ugly suckers. |

OMG yes. they are the craziest looking things. when i was a kid we always saw the "normal" black crickets sometimes brown. But now i never see those. its these wierd bubble back freakish bugs. how did they get here and what happen to our normal ones?  .. well after looking mole crickets up i see that they arent what im talking about. the ones ive seen are cave crickets or camel crickets but either what what happen to the regular ones???

| Spider Cricket - BugGuide.Net these guys are breeding somewhere in my garage and when I open the door to let the doors out, there is about a hundred of them waiting to either come in my house or go out in the yard with the dogs I wouldn't have an issue with them if my spider liked to eat them(apparently they taste bad) and they didn't bite(and yea, they do bite)
