Creepy Grasshopper thing?

Ok so i went out last night with my brother and sister and his GF.We saw this creepy weird grasshopper thing..Is was like a Spider,A roach,And a grasshopper all in one.It could fly too! We had a flash light and we were shining it around..We figured it was attracted to light.We don't know what it was,But we saw one before.The grasshopper thing had like two thin long legs up at the top,And two thick legs down toward the bottom.One of it's legs were bent too,Like it could hop.I tried to look up but hap no matches..I wanna know if can bite,Hurt you or do any harm to any human being in any way.We took a picture of the one we saw before.We didn't know what it was,And were scared to death.Please help! =)
