Captured on my WYZE camera, which is positioned at the side of my house. Unfortunately it’s B&W footage. If it’s a bug, it’s a BIG one. 
Gaa!!! Kill it with fire lol
I think that’s what we in Fl would call a potato bug or a Jerusalem cricket. Ain’t never seen one in Michigan.
On first glance thought mole cricket, but the two species do look a lot alike.
The creature looks so flat – not like a rounded bug with a shell. And the head (or at least the front end) is as wide as the rest of the body.
Fear the Gryllotalpidae!
Do you mind sharing the location? Just the state (and maybe region if it’s someplace big like TX) would help.
If that’s already been posted, I apologize.
If you click on her username, you can see if she has listed it in her profile.
She is showing South Texas
I don’t know what it is, but it doesn’t look like any kind of cricket; even a potato bug. A cricket’s back “knees” would protrude well above it’s body.
Maybe Ted Cruz out taking a morning unconstitutional.
It is not a Jerusalem Cricket. That’s all I know. Might it be a Kissing Bug, which I’ve never seen in real life but comes up on a google search ‘large flat bugs Texas’?
As @What_Exit said, I’m in South Texas. This is a very old inner city neighborhood with homes built (on my street anyway) in the 1920s.
I’ve seen a lot of kissing bugs, but none this big (thank God). They’re usually less than an inch long. Also from this picture (WARNING_ BIG BUG PIC!) the kissing bug tapers up toward its head. It DOES resemble the kissing bug, however. Geez, I hope it never comes in the house!
Sweet Jeebus, is that on someone’s skin?
Tripler
In this order: 1) Flick it off, 2) Then photograph.
Looks like what we called a “sowbug” or “pillbug” in my Southern California days.
We have those here, too. See picture on this page (not gross). But when curled up, they are about the size of a pea.
I think that is a cockroach.
Probably an immature one.
It looks weird because of the IR lighting.
Nope. It’s an alien pod. 
I suggest moving. Tonight.
It looks like some unholy cross between a slug and an earwig. Squishy, but with antennae.
I thought that creature looked like Plankton (from “Spongebob Squarepants”) when the green square flashed, and that’s close enough.
