You've never seen a Jerusalem Cricket have you? :).

Jerusalem crickets are related to grasshoppers and crickets, and are
native to California. They always freak people out who see them (small
eyes, big bulbous head, striped round abdomen, and coarse spines at the
tips of their legs, as well as a vicious looking set of madibles).
