    Do you have the capability to post a picture? I can try to identify it from a description but that usually turns into a trial and error guessing game. I'm up to play if there's no pics, but it may take us a while.

    Let's start with some more basic information. What part of the world are you in?

    Is it forested around your house or cleared?

    Is there open water nearby and if so what kind: pond, pool, lake, ocean?

    In addition: how many legs? Are there wings? What is the primary color? And if there is a secondary color, what is it?

    I think the OP said primarily brown, six-legged, small antennaed, with a large abdomen. I'm thinking an ant of some type but let's see what sputnikone says.

    Oh, sorry. I was answering based on his first post... Since I did not pay attention as I should have, I'll do some extra "bug finding" to help in this thread.
