Eme and I were out for a walk this weekend enjoying the beautiful weather when we came across this creature. I'm not sure this thing belongs on land...in Illinois!

  2. I don't know, some kind of huge cray fish or scorpion or something. It had huge pinchers in the front! It ranks right up there with the beetle we saw on your front porch...yuck!
