Crickets can actually CLIMB... and they are crawling all over the walls of any building that has lights on it at night... or anywhere they can... do whatever it is they are doing, period!  They are also in EVERY store that has automatic doors... to the point where they can't sweep them out as fast as they can crawl in and end up squished ALL OVER the aisles! 

It's mating season for the brown field cricket... and they have chosen OKC this year, for some reason.  I just found this newscast, and it's not even close to showing the whole picture... 

Crickets, OH, MY!!!


Oh, and after the video, scroll down and check out the photos.  They show a lot better what's happening here right now. 

Oddly enough, however... there really isn't much chirping going on.  You would think it would be deafening out there, right?  But, no...

That is crazy!!  Anybody have a chocolate fountain?

Rani Zemirah

I'm not really a fan of chocolate covered bugs, thanks... but I do agree that you could do a LOT of fishing with all of them!  Well... if the fish around here weren't already FULL of crickets, anyway!  We need to ship some of them down there, I guess...  :D

No, no, no.  Quite alright, thank you.  Y'all can keep ALL your crickets, thank you very much.

Rani Zemirah

What?  You don't wanna go fishin' with Fraser?!? 



I'm afraid I'm gonna have to confiscate your Man Card for a few days...   :P

I agree.  We have enough with baseball (based on the way the Astros are playing).  Let the Brits keep their wacky game.

I agree... and hopefully the little buggers (<see what I did there? :D ) will be well on their merry way somewhere else by then, and out of HERE, as well! 

Instead of an infestation... maybe an INVASION is in order! 



Oh, wait... I think we've got that covered!  :D 



Jack... your pun was MUCH worse than mine... I'm sure it was!  :P  lol
