Unexpected Casualty

Before we left on vacation, Josie sprayed around the basement to take care of a possible intrusion of ants, and spiders while we were gone. We came home to find this cricket lying in the middle of the basement floor. I do not kill crickets, but I guess you cannot prevent it all the time. If only he had remained outside where he belongs. The good thing, we saw no spiders or ants.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Awww poor little fellow.

[Louise & Ken]

Ohmygosh, you're back home already?! I hope (I know!) you savored every moment! ...like you, I wouldn't intentionally kill a cricket...poor little guy...

@Weezilou Yes, the 7 days went way too fast. It always does, but it was just what the doctor ordered. It is back to work tomorrow.

[Terry]

Little poacher, should be dealt with

[Nancy Holte]

Why don't you kill crickets? We have cave crickets IN OUR HOUSE if we don't spray regularly. They creep me out. Very jumpy they are!

[Peggy Sirk]

Ooops...unfortunate collateral damage.

[Dione Giorgio]

Great close-up. YOu can't have it your way every time.

[Rick Schies]

@nana It is just something my Grandparents always taught us, you never kill crickets. They do too much good

Too bad about the circle of life. Cool shot, though.

[Pat Knowles]

Job done then Josie....but poor cricket got the wrong place at the wrong time!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I won't kill one on purpose either.....just grab and release. They remind me if the kids book Cricket in ?Times Square.....I love that book., so "good old days" sweet and adorable.
