Every once in a while we see really interesting bugs in our house. Here's one we found this morning. Some friends initially told us it's called a grillo, and apparently it's known for loud, high-pitched whistles. After futher investigation, however, we realized that 'grillo' means cricket (hence the whistling). We suspect that the crab-like arms in the front mean that it's not a cricket. It looks scary (and it kind of gives us the willies), and now we don't know whether it's harmful or not. We'll put more info here as we discover it. :-)

Hey, we used to see bugs like that too! You managed to find out more than us--all anyone would tell us is that it won't hurt us, but it's super creepy looking.
Miss you guys like crazy, and we'll write more soon.

hi, i'm not sure if you remember me or not...i came down with the messiah college team last may. anyways, i have a friend who is earning a phd in entomology and he says that this guy is actually a whip spider. he said that it's harmless to humans and that your picture was great for trying to identify it. hope that helps!
