Looks like it may be a Giant Root Borer - lives near conifers, adults come
out of ground in mid-summer after the larvea have been feeding on bark
underground. There may be more of them in the hole.

I was mowing the lawn and stumbled on this beast. About an inch wide and
almost two inches long. I crushed it and a bunch of white eggs popped
out.
Absolutely disgusting. You can see the hole it came out of on the bottom
of
the picture.
