What sort of insect is this?

It looks like a large ant but it's back legs are huge, so I was thinking perhaps a wingless wasp?

This pic was taken in California if that helps.

Out of interest what did you search?

I tried...

Big ant, big legged ant, fat ass ant, lardy ant, wingless wasp, scary ant, tubby insect and a few others and got nothing.

I get around said:
Big bunch of wusses on this forum lol, it's an insect, man up. I remember I made one of my mates cry at work, I chased him round the warehouse with a spider I found in a banana box, you've never seen a bloke move so fast in your life

To be fair I wouldn't like being chased around by a tropical spider!
