Careful, This Line Is Bugged

So last week we're at a friend's house for a dinner party and the topic of strange and decidedly eerie insects makes its way into the conversation after a moth made its way into our space. We exchanged stories of encounters, experiences and urban legends for the better part of an hour before moving on to other points of discussion... either that or the insesct spray's introduction to the table hastened the departure of further input before the possible arrival of maniacal spraying at random moving objects - humans included.

Less than a week later, one of our friends in attendance forwards a shot of something called a "clack-clack" (so named for obvious reasons) which he was awakend by in his room in the wee hours of the morning. At approximately 3 1/2 inches in length, this wasn't your typical swat-and-go-back-to-sleep bug. He dutifully captured the intruder, set it into the wild with directions to the home of the insect "lover" who hosted us previously.

Just so you do know, none of us would mind if it forever got lost in the bushes along the way.
