This is what perplexes me the most.

It truly was a weta, my dudes.
Just a really, really small one (comparatively).
At first I thought maybe it was a Mormon cricket from the scourge in Texas earlier in the season but it didn't bear any resemblance to one of those.
It was a friggen weta and I can't find any evidence that they're supposed to exist in this part of the world.
And get this shit...
The weta was just sitting on the welcome mat, at first it was assumed dead, thing didn't move for a solid 5 min. after being spotted and ogled at and traipsed around.
Turned my back on it for a minute while I looked it up and tried to ID it...
Went back to look at it was gone without a trace.
There were NO other creatures around.
It was weird as hell man.
