Because of the vast knowledge of the members of this forum, I'll pose this question.
When I came downstairs this morning there was a bug on the floor. When I tried to stomp on it 3 or 4 times it jumped away just like a cricket. It was tan in color like a cockroach but I didn't think they could jump like a cricket. After I got my coffee it was still there and I snuck up on it and smooshed it. As I picked it up with a Kleenex I noticed it had a long protuberance emerging from it. I opened it onto a tablet and took some pictures. I'm hoping someone will recognize it and tell me what it is. When strung out the wormlike part is about 4" long. The bug was about 1" long. I don't know if the wormish part was part of the original bug all coiled up inside or being digested by it.
Thanks
Aaron
