Good one! Made me laugh! I'm the same way, (except not with crickets,I still like to catch them and play with them for some reason) only with spiders.

Nothing worse in my opinion then walking the woods in the day or night and walking into a HUGE spider web and then feeling it crawling on your face! I usually flip like a little school girl and do anything I can to get that nasty sucker off my face! YUCK!!!
I'm the same way...

My only life threatening encounter was with my brother walking the 300 yards back to our truck; it had been an unsuccessful hunt and I was looking forward to the long walk back to get my body temp back up. As usual my brother and I were talking about the nights adventure, deer we had seen things we had learned, what we were going to get at Burger King, the usual. Off in the otherwise empty field we see it and it draws our attention like a moth to a flame, like a fly to carcass, like a...I'm out of analogy's; but there it was a black void, motionless in the field, out of place among the cut bean stalks. We walked towards it, each wanting to claim it as our own, 3 more yards and it was ours; thats when it turned and looked at us and bared its distinctive white stripe down its back; uh its all yours bro. We backed off saying nice things about it and it backed off graciously not spraying us with putrid anal spray or whatever it is that they spray. It was a mutual retreat and we walked our separate ways hoping to never cross paths again.
