Unknown insect - Neocurtilla hexadactyla
Jonesborough, Washington County, Tennessee, USA
August 24, 2015
Size: about 2 inches long
It was found at 9:30 pm in a parking lot of a store. They have a lot of lights and attract a lot of insects. I collect insects, have never seen one like this. Notice the claw like front legs, weird. It was crawling in parking lot, don't know if it can fly,map pears to have wings, like grasshopper. Abdomen underneath very soft, top of head has armor. 2 long antennae, then a set of smaller looking antennae, then another smaller set.
