Weird Ass Bug
I saw this bug today....It was about 1/4-1/2 the size of my hand. It had 6 legs. The back legs were big and bent like a grasshoppers. It had long antennas on its head. It's body appeared to be one piece and was round/oval shaped with big eyes. It almost looked like a happy spider. I know my description sucks. I don't think it was a spider, but I have no clue what it was. I got a pic with my camera phone but it didn't come out. Any ideas

could have been....but I've never seen a cricket that huge...just this sucker's body was bigger than a normal crickets body and legs. It was easily the size of 4-5 regular crickets
it was about the size of a tarantula, but with skinnier legs
