I'm glad I read this this morning instead of last night or I might have had buggy dreams! NoHall, that spider cricket thing is creepy! Looks like a mutant of some kind. It's not too often that I'm happy to say I live up North. Y'all have a lot of BIG creepy critters.And I thought my Japanese beetles were bad.
And by the way, after I sprayed them with water, they really never came back.

OL, Philippa and her friends always sleep downstairs in the finished part of the basement, which is right next to the laundry room, which is un-finished. Also home to BIG spider crickets that the girls have nicknamed "spickets" because of the way they hop around on their creepy crawly spider legs. You want to hear a teenage girl scream? Send her to our laundry room.
