Gawd, for a moment I thought it was a report on a 5 day cricket match (test).

Phew.

We are still dealing with "Fish Flys" here in the SE Michigan- Lakefront areas... usually they are done by now.... They only live for 24 hours..... screw, then die.....



Has been said it was the worst year ever for them......

me: "Meat. Other insects. Small animals." (I've absolutely no idea what they eat.) "I suppose enough of 'em could eat a person...you know, like a school of piranha fish."

Daniel, you're a bad, bad man.

I took a cricket to the face a couple of years ago.  It caught me less than an inch below the eye.  I had just departed my work site on the gulf coast driving out on a road through the marsh.  My eye felt like somebody shot me with a pellet rifle.  Horrible pain, couldn't open my eye without it hurting even worse.  I rode the 140 miles home in absolute misery.

I know, I should have gone straight to the doctor, but the only time I ever go there, is when I'm leaking a blood trail behind me.

The injury stayed swollen for a week and eventually got infected.  I couldn't stand it any longer, so I decided to "pick" at it.  To my amazement, I plucked the hind leg from that cricket out of my face!

It doesn't take a million of them to take you out.  That one did just fine by himself.

Ewwww!  

I've seen horror movies started with less.

You notice any strange super powers coming on?

IDK, I tend to chirp a lot in the evenings.  Not sure if you could call that a "super-power" or not.
