Re: Cricket?
in reply to a message by Pink Princess
I find a couple of crickets in my basement every year, and it doesn't bother me. You know how some people play cds of nature sounds to lull them to sleep, well, I have that for free every summer. I'd take crickets over constant traffic any night.

I like the sound that crickets make when there are many of them outside at night. One cricket in the house is annoying, though. But crickets aren't great to look at, they are not a "pretty" insect like butterflies.
the crickets are in full force here ...
There was a huge one in the house the other day, which we were lucky to find before one of the cats did; they like to eat crickets (probably they like to chase and torture them more than anything else) but anytime they do it makes them throw up. I'd rather deal with a live bug than clean up after the cats when they find one.
Also the cicadas or locusts are making a lot of noise, and the frogs because of recent heavy rain. It's actually very loud outside at night here, and we're pretty far out in the country. Anybody who thinks the countryside is quiet on a summer night hasn't spent much time out in it. lol
I like the sound of frogs at night, especially bullfrogs. I like frogs in general, actually.
