Mole Cricket

Help me identify this thing!
I have attached a picture of a bug I found today in the garden. I have never seen anything like this. It was about 3-4 inches long and super fast. It was burrowing in the dirt. Please help!

Hi Kellie,
You have a Mole Cricket. They live underground where they eat the roots of plants.
