Still going buggy...

Haven't seen any more crickets, but today I came downstairs and found a strange bug tootling around on my kitchen floor. It was big--maybe 2" long, all told--and had a beige thorax and abdomen with black spots, and black legs and a small black head; no wings that I could see. Looked almost like something out of an anime or computer game, really. It was cute in a bumblebee-ish sort of way.
So I let it crawl onto my dustpan and took it back outside. And there it has stayed, so far as I know.
