Land Lobster?

I was moving a hydrangea today, because lets face it I should never had planted in such a sunny spot to begin with, when from its depths came this "creature".



At first I thought it was a scorpion since I have heard we have those around here but on closer inspection...well....I have no idea...do you??

This is to give you an idea of scale...the pathetic broccoli next to it is no more then 15 cm tall.
