The Jerusalem Cricket

I discovered this critter in my uncle's driveway in Nevada last week. It's called a Jerusalem Cricket, even though it isn't really a cricket. It's also called a Potato Bug, even though it isn't a true bug and doesn't eat potatoes. I found him at 5:15 in the morning, and at a little over an inch and a half long, I could see him coming at me in the dim pre-dawn light.
