Lately I have discovered I do not like large crickets. My computer is in the basement of my house (it is a finished basement), and lately with all the rain we've had here there has been A LOT of bugs comming in. Especially these monster crickets. They are about an inch and a half long, and can jump i'd guess about 7 feet. One shows up once a day at least. I have a hell of a time catching them, mostly because I freak out if it jumps near me. A couple times i've ended up having to put a cup on the end of a long stick and slowly lower the cup over the bastard to trap him.
I have no idea why i'm so skiddish about them. I don't mind any other bugs like spiders or anything. I guess it's the fact that these crickets can jump so far...and I'll admit they are quite creepy looking.
