that would be a cicada, katydid or whatever people call them. they come out in the summer and shed their skins wherever they want. i don't think their harmful so you shouldn't be scared of them.
crickets or grasshopers, even katty-did bugs, rattlesnakes live in and on the ground/
Could be a squirrel
They are called by several names and are very ugly looking large bugs. They come out of holes in the ground when the weather becomes hot. They attach themselves to a plant, tree, etc.; their skin soon splits down their back. But they will not hurt you:
