The great cricket conundrum...?
I have a question about cricket behavior. Living in the desert I have a ton of crickets that end up hopping around on my porch and some that find their way into my apartment. Now...I make a habit to catch and release the crickets that come indoors because they eat other bugs which is a positive. But there's this one cricket that I captured from my apartment then released on my porch. Now it seems that he's comfortable with me because I'll be sitting outside having a beer skywatching and he'll just sit right next to my beer most of the time looking directly at me.
So my question is...is this strange behavior for a cricket (the recall/memory); have I found the cricket that will grant me 3 wishes and 5 Ukranian supermodels; or have I gained the ability to control insects with my mind?
I'm partially serious. If crickets are dumb how would lucky cricket know not to be afraid of Mr. Scorpio?
Sorry my European friend...Americans don't watch cricket though I did play cricket for a while. The trick is to smack the ball behind the wickets!
Crickets vegetarian? What are you smoking? They eat anything (but usually dead or dying) including roaches. Nom nom nom.

Crickets do NOT eat other insects. Most Crickets are strictly vegetarian. Even though, they do little or no harm to people.
That sounds very nice about what your cricket is doing. There IS a belief that we can communicate with animals, even insects, on a sub-conscience mental level.
Go to a good library and check out the book "Kinship With All Life". It is a great, old book, not too big, and was written by a man who claims to have mentally communicated with animals, including a common house fly. It's fun reading.
