Is it possible for someone to identify this insect based on two of its legs? South East Texas. Only have the legs be cause my cat ate the rest.

I suspect tree roach, but I've never seen one in my apartment and I don't think anything that big would have a way in.

Ah we do have a bunch here right now, thank you! Fuck yeah bug people, that is the same leg if I've ever seen it. I thought it was huge because of the legs too.

Your cat is really lucky or rather smart- cricket legs are a choking hazard. Whenever eating crickets, locusts and grasshoppers you always got to remove those legs 👍

Yeah, guy that deleted his comment had said field cricket, exact coloring was right on the legs

That's a question you gotta ask the guy, hard to say
