Oh my gosh!!
 

I was sitting at the bar in the dining room filling some papers out earlier today when I happened to look down at the floor and saw, upon first impression, a huge brown spot on my nice spotless floor. I took a second glace and realized it was the biggest CRICKET I have ever seen. This ain't ya regular garden variety cricket, I get these sometimes, they're cave crickets. Of course, I nearly died (I HATE bugs), I sprayed him with wasp killer from about 10 feet away and watched him die. UGH, then I scrubbed the spot! LOL

I know, I know, I don't live in a cave, but they come out of the cellar (that I have NEVER been in, yuck) I guess, god knows how they get in :rolleyes2 But anyway...I just wanted to share, it left me in a bit of a panic lol

As far as I know, they're the only "pests" I have, every once in a while a few of them migrate up here and I have to call backup.. I don't like ANYTHING that hops (except bunnies :p)

Another thing...They seem to die when exposed to light for long periods of time :confused: I'm freaked out.

Sounds like a relative of the 60 foot spiders that sometimes plague IAKG!

PF better get on this right away!

By the way, here's a picture so you guys can see what these nasty fuckers look like.

I liked your last pictures better! :grin:

That is The Mother Of All Crickets! DAMN!!! :eek:

LOL WI!!

(and yes, it is the mother of all crickets and needs to go back to hell where it came from! lol)

Ew! You will find me nowhere NEAR that thing. :)

Will he "sing" you to sleep? I love the chirp of crickets....from a distance. :p

i hate crickets, little buggers keep me up at night. i've never seen one that big, i'd bug bomb your celler. kill em all, let god sort em out.

Crickets are nasty! :eek;

We have grasshoppers here that are bright yellow and green and the size of a small animal. First time I saw one I was home alone and I about died.

That would feed a family of 6 in some countries :p

^^^^Ain't that the truth!

Throw in some love bugs and you got yourself a feast. :D

They can have all the fucking love bugs they want :p Tess...they spray (very$$$$$$) for them up here did you know that? Coincidentally they come around at the same time as legislature.;)

well get some big boots and step on those bastards!

jiminy! :D

crickets vs. cherry and wasp killer
a bit one sided :p:D

poor little cricket
