Jiminy?

Parts of SA have been invaded for the last few weeks. I've heard conflicting reports on why. The amount of rain we've gotten. Some sort of weird every 10 year migration... I don't know and really, I don't care.

Because bottom line, there are fucking crickets everywhere. The store, movie theaters, the restaurants, the malls, the car washes, the track, WORK, etc.
And no, not the cute ones like this guy... dressed in a hat and jacket













I'm talking more like these little shits.













And they are gross. And they smell. And they hop. No, wait! "Hop" sounds pleasant. These little bitches pounce.

I get the willies just thinking about it. One of the more annoying aspects, especially while I'm at work, is when they make their obnoxious cricket noises. I think it's supposed to be a mating call. Whatever it is, it sucks because my office sounds like I'm in the middle of the effin' woods. And they are LOUD too! What adds to the nightmare is that because they are so many of them that means there are that many more that die/get killed. And the stench that arises from cricket corpses is enough to make you gag.

I'm really looking forward to getting out of town for a bit at this point. If for no other reason to get away from all these damn things.

Geez, it's not like any of them get all up on you or anything.

Wait a minute...

Eeewwwww, those things are pretty gross. I haven't noticed that problem in Dallas this year, thankfully. What's really weird is when they just drop a leg somewhere and you can't find the bug body nearby at all. Ick, I'm afraid to put my feet on the floor now.

Holy crap are you serious? Is this a regular problem in Texas? WTF!

It is a mating call, does that mean you will be stepping over little piles of cricket spunk from all the wild cricket orgies under your desk? Did I mention the eggs?
