Looks somewhat like a Parktown Prawn - a rather unpleasant beast that we used to find wandering our garden in Johannesburg. Except they're red and even more evil-looking.

I was about to question why on earth, or how on earth you found that! (Which does look like a freaky "bug") but then i noticed the OP's location :eek:

Was about to seal up all doors and gaps lol, dont want one of those invading my house!

Deep fry it then eat it with some kind of dip.

Jesus christ.

Just put it out side, it would be a shame to kill it.

It needs a hat I think and a smile drawn on it and a little cane would be awesome then :eek:

I love the 'myths' (which are blatantly true) like it makes the sound of children crying, haha

And for the buglovers don't worry I let it outdoors
