[Mtnboomer]

I was weeding the garden today and came across this guy. I have never seen one before and was wondering if any of yall had and if it was good or bad?
Not the best pic but he wouldn't hold still.

we have those, I have no idea what they are though but I think they eat other bugs

If you are growing squash in a garden, they will eat it to the roots. Any kind of squash.
