This is coming from my nerdy-insect-loving-12-year-old-boy part of me.  And not only am I writing about it, but I actually have footage to go with it.  That’s sooo nerdy.  But I was fascinated by this cricket.  At least I think it’s a cricket?  If anyone knows different, please email me what it is!

We had moved some boxes and other things outside while we were moving them out of one storage area into another.  When I went outside in the morning to sort through some things, I saw him.  At first out of the corner of my eye, I thought it was a dead leaf stuck to the box.  I’m almost brushed it away, but just before I did, I realized it was some sort of creature.

Then, because of his pale brown color, I thought HE was dead.  I was like, Wow, he died while hanging upside down and now he’s stuck there somehow… Then, he moved!  Just a tiny movement of his head to check me out.

I wonder what he was thinking about me.  Hey lady, my color is brown so you’ll think I’m dead and leave me alone!  Now shoo!
