Default Holy crap, alien bug!

Last night I was at a buddies house and noticed something crawling across the driveway. I get a closer look and there is 2 neon green dots/lights on this bug! I was like WTF! It was not its eyes as it was roughly in the middle of his body. What's tripped out is how it had lights on its back.

The 2nd thing that tripped me out about this bug was I flipped it over on its back and of course like any other bug, it was squirming around kicking its feet trying to get up. Then all of a sudden, the damn that does this matrix as **** and pops up in the air and lands on its feet!

I know, but I wanted to share this story. Anyone ever seen a bug like this? At first I thought it was one of those "lightning bugs", but these lights stayed on the entire time.

I had a couple of shots and sippin' back on some bud light, but no drugs for me. I have a 2.0 mp camera phone, but no flash. It was dark and it doesn't take good pics without light. I figured I'd be wasting my time so I didn't take any.

These neon green dots were not spots, they were lights! Another thing I noticed when he flipped up from is back, is his "lights" were kinda dimmed, but when he started walking again, they returned back to the normal brightness.

Definitely a rear bug, because I've never seen one.

Also look for terrible flaming gas and a 50' satellite dish coming out of your ***. Contact Chocotaco, as he talks to the aliens and knows their every trick.

POC, what's the name of that bug? I don't see the 2 lights I was referring to. I can't say that is it because it was dark when I saw it.
