Yellow / black stripes , cricket legs, no wings, 2 segments
I live in Florida panhandle. It doesn’t appear to have wings. Oddly this is the second bug I found in the same exact location (both flushed). It is on a window blind making it maybe 1/2 inch long. Mainly want to make sure my kids are safe. Thank you.

Hi Chris,
This Red Headed Ash Borer, Neoclytus acuminatus, will not harm your children.
hi , i have a camel like cricket but it has extra limbs and is blind. the extra legs go over the front like feelers and climbs walls. it is fuzzy and pink. no i havent been drinking…. i wish i have a piture but it has gone back into the wall. freaked out cause never seen it before. from the head back it look normal four legs on each side, with the black strips on thorax . the head was pink as well and antenni . 2-4 inches long . just wondering if you would have a clue what it is???
i live in colorado.
The first thing that comes to mind is a Tailless Whipscorpion, a harmless, nocturnal predator. See BugGuide for additional information and photographs. Another possibility is a Huntsman Spider. Again, see BugGuide for additional information. Without a photo, we cannot provide a conclusive identification. We are unclear why you provided this comment on a Red Headed Ash Borer posting instead of a Camel Cricket which you mentioned.
i saw the piture of the tailess whipscorpion . and thats the one i saw . it was smaller. must be a baby one. will there be more, and does it grow bigger.?
Here is a link to a Mexican Tailless Whipscorpion with keys for scale.
nope, legs too long. whiptail is still the one. if see it again i will take a pitcure .
