Your letter to the bugman: Hello. Just found this bug laying by my front door. I didn’t harm it I promise. Seems that it died on its own.

Dear Matthew,
This is a Potato Bug or Jerusalem Cricket, an iconic Southern California insect that lives underground. They are often driven to the surface after the first rains of the season.
