What the heck is this?

[Jaaassseeee]

Andy sent it to a few of us WA boys through email...

I'm pretty sure it is an Earwig, but never in my 23 years of life have I seen something as big as this in Earwig form. It looks like a cross breed between a roach, a grasshopper and a giant piece of turd.

can someone shed light on this?

Every time I look at it it sends s shiver down my spine.

Jase, I found out what it is thanks to Jer. It's a Mole Cricket. Apparently they are quite common but they live underground all their life.

Did I mention they can fly too :o

Freakiest thing I saw in a while..

OMG Habib, I am being serious when I say this: It was just the other day I was reminiscing about bugs I've teased over the years, and found myself wondering what that exact same bug was/is. :P No joke! And yes, I'm stranger than the next person...

If that's an earwig, I'm wearing earmuffs to bed!

WAAAYYYY OFF TOPIC. but i was thinking about the word "b*stard", that means without a father right? and then it got me thinking, if there was am mother and a father for the aurion, what car would they be? a camry being the mother and the lexus being the father?

as you can tell i am extremely bored at work :D

From looking at the AT-X, I would say the mother was a Gen 6 Camry that would have had a one night stand with a VZ or a VE.

[myztik]

crossbreeding aye?

[cuppas]

haha so technically, that makes the aurion a mongrel breed

whereas pa's rav seems to be the midget kid of two klugers

hmmm...

well in that case, the father would be the explanation for all the rattles and creaks you get.
