Man Accidentally Unleashes 250 Crickets In His House; People In Tears With Laughter

[bcr229]

Ok I admit I laughed. A lot.

When I was a child growing up in rural Australia, there was one summer that was particularly memorable. A biblical plague of insects took over our small town, at one stage swarming so busily that a single air-swipe with a tennis racket left the strings oozing with smelly cricket carcasses. My friend and I would catch as many as we could and feed them to the blue-tongued lizards living around our houses, hoping that if we fed them enough we could make them grow into Godzilla-like creatures that we could take to school and scare our classmates with.

Sadly, they simply got fat and lazy. But boy did they love eating those crickets! So when Washington Post reporter Christopher Ingraham and his family adopted a young bearded dragon lizard recently, the first thing he did was make a bulk order for live crickets. The crickets soon arrived by FedEx, and a mixture of Christopher’s naivety and inexperience combined to unleash his own personal plague on the family house, leaving his wife in despair and his Twitter followers in tears of laughter. Scroll down below to read the chaotic cricket catastrophe below, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Funny as all get out....but I’d have been out of the house. For all my love of snakes, bugs freak me out.

[MR Snakes]

That's funny!

I smiled really hard... LOL.
I also can't stand loose bugs which is why I can never keep lizards!

Good one!!! haha! While we haven't had 250 loose at a time, we get escapees from the Chameleon habitat on a regular basis.

Oh, I saw this when he originally posted it on Twitter! And promtly cracked up. I'm really curious how they got all of those circkets in the box, un-bagged, in the first place.
