a Kamemushi (stink bug to you or me, but a turtle bug in Japanese). I let out an involuntary noise of surprise and disgust and hid it under lid of an old cookie tin.
Then yesterday I found this guy. A cave cricket/camel cricket/ sand cricket. Gross cricket.
My first concern was that he was on the second floor of my house. Eep.
My second concern is that the main predator of these yucko-crickets are these:
and we all know how much I love these. . .
God save me.

Think about it though! If you're finding the crickets around, that means that there's no mukade around to eat them!
Those camel spider dudes are completely revolting to me--we have them in good old Virginia too. Something to look forward to.
Why don't you sic your ferret on them? The Browns, Zaideh's wonderful English cousins, say that ferrets hail from north Yorkshire, just like they do. Mom
perhaps then the Browns could chase the mukade and fall asleep in bathroom drawers?
