Sideways video of cricket chirping
There is a cricket under the lobby filing cabinet at my office. Since I've rescued two crickets so far from this building, I feel it's my job to get this one too. But the cabinet is too heavy for me to pull out. I cannot see down the back or sides either, and pulling out the drawers makes it plain that this cricket knows how to hide! For now, I've put out a plate with a apple slice on it, hoping the cricket is hungry. It sure is singing loudly! The video simply is to record the loud cricket chirp.
If anyone has any ideas on how to coax the insect out, please comment! Even having a cat in residence wouldn't help. The boss is calling it, "Vicky's Cricket". Everyone is amused by my tenacity at saving this critter.
How did I go from Creepy Cat Stalker to Everything Wild Huntress?
BUT WAIT! The maintenance crew has decided to pull out the credenza for me...how nice!

The guys were amazing!

| Other cricket, moved outside |
One more cricket is wrested from the quiet, warm and dry interior, and placed under a dripping wet bush, on this cool, grey day. Bon Voyage, cricket! Tell all of your cricket friends that it's a wasted trip to get inside this building; I'll suss them out and put 'em back out.
