Never even seen a bug that big. It almost looks cute.
Almost looks like a Solpugid aka Sun Spider. Like this.
For the record, we don’t have bugs that big in Canada. Unless it’s a fat grasshopper <.<

ive seen sunspiders before but those you can actually step on without feeling gross
No, I have never seen potato bugs beforehand, since they do not inhabit the Lower Mainland of British Columbia as far as I am aware.
I thought that potato bugs were small grey insects with round shells and many little legs, though.
Jeez, actual size??? I thought potato bugs were about the size of a ladybug! O_O
[edit]
No wonder…it’s actually a type of cricket:
