Actually, it's more than one Jiminiy cricket that always find their way into my house!
They are very tiny, you cannot see them, but them mouth big nuh rahtid. One was in my room this morning and woke me up.
So when I do find them, I cup them in my two hands and fling them outside.
There are crickets and there are these creepy things called congorees (I don't think that is how it is spelt) but anyway, yesterday I heard something drop from the top cupboard in the kitchen. Went to investigate and there was this 4 inch fat thing crawling on my floor. I swept it up and threw it outside.
Then last night, I go in the kitchen to see an ugly large spider on the floor. I squashed it, then apologized to the dead thing. A lot of squishy liquid came out of it. Hmmm, maybe that was its poison? I live in bush you see, not that it is in the rural area....it is not. But there are open lots front and back of me as well as on one side. And the bush high.
Read up on the cricket
Posted by yamfoot at July 24, 2006 11:10 PMI wonder if the 'congoree' is a millipede?
Sounds like you have had your fair share of close encounters with critters....or is that cricket? ;-)

Posted by: Michelle at July 25, 2006 09:56 AMactually i stand corrected. I just googled it and came across a website of Grenadianisms and it says it IS a millipede. But these are hard back millipedes. The ones I can remember in Jamaica are soft skinned.
