Jerusalem cricket, also known as a Devil's Baby or a Skull insect. Close to 2 inches / 5 cm long.

Gah!!
I looked them up... "Despite their common names, these insects are neither true crickets (which belong to the family Gryllidae) nor true bugs (which belong to the order Hemiptera), nor are they native to Jerusalem...." haha, OK...
Sounds like they are pretty good for cleaning up dead stuff, as long as you don't annoy them and get bitten.
The crew wishes to state that they will not be posing with any of our giant spiders.

OK, I think it's because I'm tired, but I started wondering how many buildings around me were actually constructed by dolls. Is that the secret of the pyramids? And Stonehenge? And Nazca lines? And Göbekli Tepe? We may never know...

Ha!
Well, after learning about the menehune (mighty little builders) on our Hawaii trip, Sunsette is convinced it's a translation error and that it was really "minihune" and they're cousins ...

Hm. But what does X mark the spot for?

It's where the bodies are hidden.
