that mole cricket looks a lot like what we call potato bugs. ita, you're welcome to come turn over the stones in our back yard if you'd like to be totally skeeved in person.
It's a real burden being right so often.

Common but rarely seen. I hope this doesn't lead to that phenomenon where you see a reference to a thing and then start seeing it everywhere. Red Pandas I would be happy to see everywhere. Mole Crickets, nsm.

Stay out from under the rocks in my back yard.

That doesn't look like the same bug to me. But I am extremely bad at identifying insects.

Oh no, not the same bug at all, but (imho) almost as disturbing and possibly more common.

Ah, ok. Knowing they are under my feet somewhere doesn't bother me much, there are a lot of things down there, after all. if they start showing up on billboards trying to sell me soup or something, I will be disturbed.

The most weird-ass bug [link]

It's a saddleback caterpillar and I've been stung by one twice. It's a very painful weird-ass bug.

That is a weird-ass bug but somehow the bright green makes it seem less creepy than the underground brown things.
