Saw this online. Can anyone tell me if it is real and if so, what the hell is it?

There's too much stuff hanging off it. What are the legs, and what are the things that aren't legs? It's looks like it's about the size of a football.

If that looks familiar to anyone here, you have my sympathy.

I’m just as stumped as you are as to all the stuff hanging off of it. On line, it was a video and it appeared as if something was moving inside of it.

Not much. They like me were just asking if anyone could ID it.

I have no idea - But I'm going to hang around and see if anyone comes up with anything
Maybe repost with a title that asks something like what kind of bug is this or something like that we have lot of "bug people" that would know a little bit about it.

I think I found something, it's called a flat faced long horn beetle. It ate it's way through this guy's wall of his new home. They called the exterminator who identified it and took care of the problem. Creepier story than what the thing looks like.

Gee, I thought it was a "polypodus nigris maximus" (or big, black, many - foot)! 🤣🤣

If you find it split open one day, and one of your family members is acting very strange sporting a small hole in the back of their neck, run as far and as fast as you can.
