lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

We seem to have successfully locked the crawling bugs out of the house, but somewhere there is a hole that is letting in all manner of flying and jumping wildlife.

This morning I got up to find this in my kitchen. Ugly little bastard, isn't he?

I stuck him a jar as soon as I saw him and fired up the computer, because there have wanted posters all over town for the Asian
Longhorned Beetle - but nope, a case of mistaken identity.

Although I'm starting to wonder if the reason I'm seeing more beetles in the house is because we got rid of the mice.

Humph! I had a deal with my cats - I provide clean litter and food and they look after the bugs. Apparently, they were lying. They will sit on the floor and, very interestedly, *watch* something crawl across the floor, then go back to sleep. Hell, I had to catch my own cricket - twice!
