Answer 1

it kinda looks like a crush grasshopper.

Answer 2

That looks quite cool.

It could be a spider, but i doubt it due to the long antenna like things.  

Answer 3

Whatever it is, it's closer to the cricket family, although the body shape is unusual.   The long antennae and bent legs remind me of critters similar to grasshoppers and crickets.  It looks like part of the body is missing.  If I were you, I'd have a few stiff drinks today to make sure that you don't dream about this thing tonight.  Yuck.

Answer 4

Answer 6

Whatever it is it's creeping me out

Answer 7

You should definitely clean your camel cricket -- it looks like it ran into a tree or something.

JK

Cleaning would help, but the critters are getting in somehow (usually a gap at a window or door). Camel crickets are nocturnal, and seem to think the gluey side of tape is food. If you put strips of adhesive or duct tape down, sticky side up, you'll probably catch most of them over a few days.

Answer 8

It looks like an overgrown flea...
