Scary - Hapithus agitator

Scary - Hapithus agitator
Chester, NJ, New Jersey, USA
October 12, 2013
Went apple picking in Chester, NJ. Came back home to NYC and noticed this monster in the car. Terrified me.
I am interested in what this creature is.

Moved
Moved from ID Request.

Reminds me of Hapithus agitator - Restless Bush Cricket

A harmless cricket :)
Maybe this one:



Welcome to BugGuide!

 
Thank you, but its still scar
Thank you, but its still scary. This thing jumped on my and I almost started crying. Scared the hell out of me.
Thanks for the info! I thought it looked like a cricket

 
Nothing to worry about...
The fear of arthropods is quite irrational. I was where you are at ten years ago, fearing many insects. Now I have my own living and dead collection of insects and arachnids!

 
No thank you. If I could rid
No thank you. If I could rid my house of an insects lurking, I would. I know they do great things for us but they scare me. I have those gross house centipedes in my house. Some oftthem get to be so big. Its disgusting.
However, I did get to hold a female Madagascar Hissing Cockroach.

 
Jinx!
:)
