The Crickets

Hairy our Tarantula is pleased as punch right now.  His pal Kristine came in and put some crickets in to his tank last week.  There are a few still in there, chirping their cricket chirps.  Last evening they seemed especially loud since the kids were gone and the room was quiet.  When I listen to their chirps, I wonder if they know they're on their way to being a tarantula meal any day now.  Or do they just live every moment of the day to the fullest, singing their cricket songs?

We may never know.  Tonight's Open House.  Harry's sure to be a big hit.
