Mystery Chirp

Last night in my living room I heard a cricket that seemed too loud to be outside and when I investigated, sure enough, it was a cricket that had somehow found its way in and was making its music on a pile of old 78rpm’s (mostly Greek) in the corner.

The interesting thing is that it was clearly missing one of its large back legs, which are what I thought they used to make their chirping sound. Joe and I managed to trap it and brought it outside. I should’ve taken a photo.
