3 AM bug
Hello,
I had a late night visitor in my apartment located in Burbank, California. I captured the bug in a drinking glass and photographed it before I put it outside. The drinking glass is about 3.5 inches in diameter (it is shown in the photos). I have never seen an insect that large in this area. Thanks for your help!

Hi Amie,
Certain insects always appear on our homepage since we get so many identification requests for them. The Potato Bug or Jerusalem Cricket is one. There was a photo at the bottom of the homepage.
