I found this guy on my front porch..very strong little critter. He looks like a crawfish mated with an earwig!! I have lots of photos from all angles.. but will start with this one.

Think I messed this one up, now that I've had more experience with these guys this one is definitely N. borellii instead

Moved from Tawny Mole Cricket.

thanks
I appreciate your quick response. Now I know what a tawny mole cricket looks like. I used to exert so much effort trying to keep bugs off my flowers.. now I plant the flowers to attract the insects!! I realized that the insects were much more interesting!
