632 - What Jumps At Midnight


Today's JSVB post is a close-up picture of a large insect.  It's not gross or anything, but if bugs make you queasy please don't scroll down.
























Here is a close-up shot of a big bug I've seen from time to time.  I'd suggest that it's a night crawler, but those meaty hind legs make it a night hopper.  For scale, I think that body is about an inch and a half long, around the length of a pine needle.  Maybe it's a big woodland cockroach.  I wish I knew.
