Midnight Visitors


On the way home from California we stayed at the Virgin River hotel in Mesquite Nevada.  It's very affordable, and located around the midway point on the long 12-13 hour drive to California or back.  This time around we got some visitors in our hotel room: Crickets.  I've never seen one before, but the chirping sound this little guy was making brought us easily to his location, which was next to the door.  Another cricket ended up in our room that night, but thankfully it chirped very little.  The sound of crickets at night is quite romantic, but boy they are ugly.

  1. I'm just glad it wasn't a cockroach or bedbug. That would have been uber nasty.

    ...and...you've never seen a cricket before??? My sister and I used to chase them all over our backyard when we were kids! And also the super cute baby grasshoppers. :)

    1. Crickets have always been that illusive insect that hid out in the fields making music. Maybe your crickets were more social :0)
