We used to have a cat that would hunt them. We'd sometimes see a cricket leg in a hairball. That cat died a year or so ago, and the population has increased since then.
It's a little horrifying that the traps caught so many. You would see one or two when you would go down into the cellar, so I figured there were a handful down there. I'd step on them when I could. Fast buggers would hop away. The traps are clearly working though. I just noticed last night that a trap caught 5 little baby tank bugs. You know, the ones that look like armadillos and roll up in a ball when disturbed. Caught a spider too. This could turn into a real biology experiment. I could turn it into a web page. Look what's living in glatt's-cellar.org. |

I think this line's mostly filler.

Now, crickets may be creepy and lizards may be cute, but which would you rather have poop in your laundry?

Man, you're lucky those things don't make noise. You'd never get sleep. Another recent addition to the close-ups: an engine lift. |

The infestation looks really horrible, because a glue trap concentrates all the bugs in one tiny area. When you go down into the cellar, you might see a bug or two, but are equally likely to see none. It really doesn't appear that bad. The traps seem to be working. |

Tiny toads
These little guys sure were hard to get pics of, but I kinda like some of the blurry ones...

I like the frogs, jinx. So tiny. How did you find them? They look like they would blend right in with the ground.

I recently stumbled across this old one. My son's eyelashes seemed so long to me. Maybe it was just the light and angle.

I totally want a terrarium filled with those little baby toads!! A-freaking-dorable. And, they wouldn't make me sneeze...any idea on an ID? Local nature center could help if you bring those great pics. Neat!!
