What kind of bug is this?


We are having a great time finding bugs in our yard this year. I am very proud of Aly not being scared of them and having a great time catching and observing all type of wildlife in our yard. Many times she lets them go right away or within a few hours. The other day while getting the BBQ ready to grill I found this bug on the grill. I called Aly and hubby over right away. Of course Aly wanted to hold it. It sure looks like a giant cricket but do you know what is weird? It can change its color when it goes to different surroundings. When it was on the BBQ it was much darker in color. When it was on the cement it was pale. So if you happen to know what this is please do tell us, leave a comment!
