Jerusalem burrowing cricket also know as a Ant Loin.You can find them by looking for dirt mounds with a hole in the middle,you may also find trails of it comeing and going. THEY DO BITE!

[TheBAAADKitty]

It's a potato bug. It's completely harmless, though it can give an extremely painful bite. Ironically its called the skull bug (like the warning on toxins) lol.

[HomelessWolfman]

@TheBAAADKitty Then is it completely harmless? :p

[TheBAAADKitty]

@HomelessWolfman Meh, in my mind if it doesn't have venom glands and I can squish it with a single stomp, its harmless. ;)

[Dondragmer]

These aren't that rare. I've seen several in my life around the East Bay, near San Francisco. I've caught a few barehanded, but be careful of their powerful bite. They are Jerusalem crickets, a large flightless (not sure) burrowing cricket.

Yep! I opened another window and then Goggled it. It is called a Potato bug, or a Jerusalem Cricket. I saw 6 pictures which were somewhat the same, yet they had some differences in color. Hmmm, interesting!
