Its about 2 - 2 1/2 inches long

i hate these fucking pictures, im not gonna shit for a week now, i hate insects!!!

:lol: i have no fricken clue

LOL, that looks pretty cool

there is nothing missing from the insect, although there is grass added....stuck to it and i didn't wanna try to remove it.....f*ck that

maybe a mutated form of an earwig

Wow, weird...

im not for sure but it may be a cadad or some shit like that i forget the name

nope, not a cicada...

there ya go hah couldt think of the name, i have no idea what they are we get those here all the time too

2 1/2 inches long?

bugs that big scare me :uhoh:

pick it up, bring it to the library or something

is that a stinger on the end of it?

I have no clue what that is but it has a big stinger.

Cicada Killer has been suggested, but not quite right.

That is one big bug. You may want to take into a lab. They can probably find out what it is. Or find a college level book about insects.

Locust?

nope, not locust

Locust?
Locust=grasshopper. So, no.

Seen 'em, knew what they were, but I was like 6 when I saw them so i forget. But I was so scared of them, so I used to swat 'em with a bat or something. I was entertained easily...

Maybe a mud-dauber wasp?

It's a garden variety wasp.




Watch out, it'll crawl into your ears while you sleep and lay its eggs there

Dead.

^ hahaha Oz, such a funny guy! :loser:





















lol, jk

I looked through all Wasp, Hornet, Locust, and Cicada pictures I could find. The closest thing I can find to it is a Cicada Killer....not mud-dauber....Toksin, I'll check garden varieties again...this thing is freaky.....

I got it! its a Horntail Wasp, thats not a stinger on the back. It uses that thing to drill into dead trees and lay eggs.
