Kids found this bug walking along my basement floor and i've never seen anything like it before. It's back legs remind me of a cricket or grasshopper. It is about 1 inch long. We live in northern new jersey, bergen county.

This is a cave or camel cricket (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae). They are for the most part nuisance pests that do little real damage. See http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/ent/notes/Urban/camelcrickets.htm
