I’ve seen similar and couldn’t id, though that was a while ago. Try Austin iNaturalist, it’s become my go-to for first level identifications. You can limit, if you know family, species, but who know what that big-bottomed bug is. Ant, maybe?? Good luck, post if you figure it out!
I was thinking ant, but apparently they have snubbed antennae. Maybe it’s a juvenile of something obvious and it’ll live long enough in my jar to show us?
