Are you sure, it is just ONE bug? Looks like they are trying to make more bugs, but i can't get a clear visual!

It has thick orange back legs, those are the moving bits in the video.

Ahh, i keep looking, stopping, looking playing, but i can't make it out clearly. You should have asked it to stand still for a moment!

np. Hope they're not in your garden if you're growing any types of squash or pumpkins.
