Saw one, too. Right next to an ivory billed woodpecker.

I don't want to sound like an idiot, and it might be too late for that, but it was crawling up a door frame in my mom's house, and I had to take it outside. I had never seen anything like it. I got it to crawl into a cup and I tossed it outside, and I just saw a NY Times article about it, and I'm feeling like I might have witnessed something special.
frick that shite. I'm a biologist, and I would have burned the house down. Big bitches like that belong OUTSIDE!! And not a big fan of the creepy-crawly frickers anyway.

There’s tons of them at my house. True story. Come get all you want. I thought it was just a giant arse black grasshopper.
ETA: Nvm it is just a big arse black grasshopper - eastern lubber grasshopper

Super rare.

I think we killed three of those on the front porch tonight.

They're related to walking sticks. What OP found wouldn't bother me.
But a flying roach and I run screaming into the night.

I bet the bass would bite on that

I don't know about that. I could NEVER get anything to bite those damn eastern lubbers!

Female walking stick...pretty common in LA and the SE. Males are much smaller. You are confusing it with a similar species found on Lord Howe island...was thought to be extinct.

I've seen rarer tree lobsters in the quad.
