found this little fella crawling around on my floor this afternoon. It looks like some sort of grasshopper/cricket, but I'm not that sure. What do the OOT bug experts think? http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a346/climberjosh2/IMG_1135.jpg

Camel cricket (Ceuthophilus spp.): known for its distinctive brown and black colors, pronounced hind legs and black beady eyes, this savage insect is responsible for more than 25,000 deaths a year in United States alone. The Camel cricket is known to stalk its prey (humans) during the day and attack while its victim is sleeping. If you are to ever spot this elusive beast in your home, you are recommended to seek shelter as no amount of bug spray will be able to stop this barbaric blood beast on it’s quest for world domination

This reminds me of the Humans vs Ants thread. That thread should have been in Diebitter's POY contest.
