I think thats one of those brain-eating amoebas, don't open the door!

I think it's a male Praying Mantis.

That's my guess anyway.

And obviously a VIRGIN male praying mantis. You can tell.

I read that and was thinking, "how the hell would you know that?! This guy must know his bugs".....then I remembered the sad outcome for the male praying mantis.

I actually don't think that's it's a mantis. It's thorax is way too wide.

Here is a pic we took where I work of a female mantis that just bit her husbands head off. He is still attached to her as well.
