What did you do today?

[Charlie Horse]

Yesterday I made a friend while I was cleaning up some trash by the road next to my field.  I lifted a small piece of plywood and found this guy!  A "Jerusalem Beetle", so called because their striped like a Jew in a concentration camp, or so I heard.  Its actually a type of huge cricket even though it looks like a termite.  I've only ever seen one once before.  It was drowned in a puddle and the sight of it was almost enough to make my dad barf. 

   

   

I tried to get a picture of him in my hand but he creepy-walked up my arm so fast this is the best I could do...

   

I let him go in a place that I'm sure he'll do well. 

Here's a link to a clip of a "Warrior Cricket" someone has crawling on their hand.  This guy is super awesome and a lot less gross.
