Mosie, from my Country Life just posted a picture of her local bug that she has to tolerate in the house. Well, I can top that. Here is the bug that sets me to running out the front door.
This is a Camel Cricket. A regular old black cricket I can take, but these things are horrible. And they stand there and look at you and then they jump at you, not away from you. I read that they can jump 6 feet straight up and thats why they seem to aim for your face. I never get in the shower without checking first in the tub. They seem to come up the drain. Can you imagine? We were loaded with them last year but we had an exterminator and they are definitly less. He said they have taken over under the house and he closed off all the heater vents so that there are no places where they can come up. Mosie, do ya wanna trade?

I've never seen a cricket like that and hope not to. Check my critter out that's gotten into my house a couple of days ago..a salamander....I just put a pic up last night of him (shiver). Glad you stopped by and do come again....alice

Boy, that's a new one on me. I have black cricket's in the house occationally but they are just a source of entertainment for the cat. My mom used to say it's bad luck to kill a cricket in the house so I usually rescue them and put them outside...
