So… here are two pictures taken at 4:14 Sunday when I walked into our backyard. The light was pretty good – the pictures from my samsung phone don’t do it justice. And then below, the temporary resident who’d moved in last Friday.
I believe this is called a jumping cricket. Mostly he (she?) was hanging around in one of our kitchen sinks. We didn’t disturb her (him?). She went out of the sink once or twice but always came back. Not sure what he was living on…

Yesterday evening we finally decided to get her out – easy to capture in the glass and then free into the front garden.
Oddly enough, we’d grown attached to the creature – but all good things must end.
