Well that was eventful.. I just got woken up by elder minipeeler because there was a cricket in his room. It dashed under the bed so we had to pull everything out from under there and then I caught it in a jar and yeeted it into the garden. What is a cricket doing inside FFS. They've finally shut up outside and are now invading the house!

Crickets at this time of year?

I've seen crickets around the past few days.

Probably a few last season stragglers.

At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within elder peelers bedroom?

May I see it?
