Cicada, or as I know them the "17 year locust".
They do spend 17 years as an underground "grub" and emerge in late spring as these monster looking bugs.
What I find interesting is that since they spend their larval stage underground, why would they need to look like some alien spawn?
Well, in any case, they are cool looking bugs by far.
(My next favorite is the "stag-horn" beetles that you usually encounter at night, you know those big brown beetles that seem to cling to whatever they touch!)
