	The other night I found a large cricket in my bedroom as I was
drifting off to sleep. Since they eat fabrics and such, I quickly zapped
him with a bugspray and tried to catch him to get rid of the corpse. He
jumped into a crack in the wall, and wouldn't come out until I gave up
and went back to bed. For the rest of the evening, he crawled around on
the floor, making horrible little scratching noises on the parquet, but 
I never could locate him again. In the morning he was dead. This was a
horrible experience and I had to tell someone about it.
