B-List Horror Bugs

My room, and the surrounding basement of Wesley, has been invaded by these critters:

A cave cricket is what I instinctively called the first one I saw, after hearing vague stories of the frightening pests, and a quick Google search proved that I was right.

From personal experience, it seems you can't kill them by normal means. They jump too fast and too high to actually get them with normal bug spray, unless you just want to fill your entire room with the stuff, and that's not something I'd really recommend. They appear in the strangest places, such as your curtains as you're about to move them, scaring the crap out of an otherwise calm person. This is clearly part of their overall plan to run me out of my room so they can watch my DVDs. The only way I was even able to capture this one on camera was that one of its legs was mysteriously missing, thereby eliminating his jumping advantage. His injury originally unsettled me, as I thought of some other pest looming around down here that could rip a leg off a cave cricket ... but I eventually came to realize and hope that this guy was just a grizzled war veteran.

I named him Stan, then I picked him up with a tissue and put him in the garbage can upstairs.

Darn cave crickets.
