A picture was posted on FB. Taken in Tennessee. What is the name of this pretty spider? Thanks!

I don’t think it’s a spider.
^ Me, neither, but I’m too squicked out from scanning spider pics for the last 20 minutes to be much help; you’re on your own. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
I guess those front legs could be antennae.

GIANT leaf-footed bug–4th row down in the middle.
Squick.
Why do I always click the links? I know I hate myself, but do I really think I deserve to be creeped the hell out? Apparently, yes, I do.
Someone has to buy all that brain bleach.
Thanks! Wow, that was fast. I think it’s sort of pretty - the back end looks like a lace mantilla.

It wants you to think that, then POW!
Then POW…eggs in your brain.
Gorgeous bugs! Those mesquite bugs are cool.
Uggg. Why did I look?
And they give your char-broiled burgers a whole new flavor. 
Nice coloring; almost looks painted on.
I’m guessing the photo doesn’t do it justice.
It’s pretty. 
Wow, that’s a cool-looking bug.
Oh, that’s Larry.
Pretty sure that’s a Morticia.
Yah. Pretty creepy.
