Is There an Exobiologist in the House?

I find all sorts of odd critters in the driveway as I leave for work in the morning - I guess they spend the night beating their brains out on the halogen light above the garage and eventually drop to the ground.  This is one of the strangest-looking insects I have run into in a while.  Can you identify it?  I live in Southern Virginia, not in Mid-Cretaceous South America or in the Delta Quadrant if that helps.

I swear this thing comes from The Matrix. I think if you pick it up, it will morph into some kind of metalic bug that will crawl into your belly button (as if that's its only program).

All I can tell you is that it was gone when I came home that day. Did a bird come and eat it? Did it finish its mission and dutifully self-destruct? Who knows? Both are equally likely.
