I think I have seen exactly three of these in my life. It's a mole cricket. Not a bug you want to see in your greenhouse, but neat to look at. I saw my first one fifty years ago. I collected one for Entomology a couple years after that, but don't remember where I found it. (I may still have it in a cigar box!) This one was in the garage tonight. Kinda like running into an old friend. Internet sources say that it is a serious pest of turf, especially golf courses. Our yards do not come close to golf course standards, even for the Rough, so No Problem!

HMMM, never heard of them. When I was in Virginia, camel crickets were the big pest.
