Awww.... It's really kinda cute, in a "Them" sort of way...
...but I have a weakness for bugs. These guys are really pretty harmless, except for the people they scare to death.
Crickets and their cousins, cockroaches, are real threats to my workplace, in that they enjoy eating paper. The kids who volunteer for me in the children's library long ago learned that one does not step on a cricket in my presence. Paper cup over Chirpy --> index card between floor and cup --> quick trip outside. The fella in California would need a Supersize Slurpee cup and a piece of shirt cardboard.
