I am an avid collector of insects recently. I caught one just yesterday. 10-7-23. I studied him a little the put him back where I found him. I then found him inside my screened in porch by my snake jar. And I spray bug repellent around the porch. Never made noise. So cool looking.

I get these crickets in the house every Spring/eary summer and they creep me out. I just don't like them. Thier bellies are soft but they have a firm back that will crunch.
Almost lost lunch one day after picking one up in a kleenex and squeezing. I will never do that again.
I don't kill insects of any kind in general, but these crickets hopping around, are an exception.
Sorry. I'm not perfect.
