What bug is this?

Ever wake up with a cricket crawling on your balls?

 

I have little lizards in my basement. They do eat all the spiders and bugs. They hang out on the water radiators to keep warm and I let them because I have seen about 3 spiders since I moved in. Nice and friendly.

 

In that case, I'd understand, and possibly do the same thing. Which is partly why I asked how many crickets were involved. So far, TheForce has reported an 'infestation' of one, which doesn't justify chemical warfare.

 

I could live with that. I've been in hotels in tropical regions where there were lizards.

OT: How come "lizard" has only one zee while gizzard has two? If a lizard has a gizzard, shouldn't its gizzard have fewer zees than the lizard?

Last time I was on Cayman Island, there was about a six-foot-long iguana lizard that hung around the pool area and sometimes climbed the trees. It was pretty cool. But I wouldn't want it in my room.

 

Duct tape. Just spread it around sticky side up.

 

We used to call them Hop-er-oos, since they can really jump.

 

they are the quiet type, not your regular black crickets.

we have cats, crickets have not been a problem so far.

 

I kinda like the sound of crickets, as long as they're outside. Finding them crawling around under the bedcovers would be quite another matter.
