Surprise in our compost...
in Green Living
We have a rubbermaid bin for compost. I opened it today to add some stuff and there were a couple of the biggest crickets I've ever seen in there. DH went to stir the bin and there's a whole bunch of crickets and down a little further - a tons of cricket larvae squirming around! I wasn't ready for that surprise and I've got to admit I squealed and jumped around like an idiot.
Is this okay? I wouldn't have been surprised by worms, but crickets?

Re: Surprise in our compost...
Definitely crickets - crickets on steriods. Apparently our kitchen scraps are like cricket growth hormone

That's neat. I used to catch crickets as a kid. I think they're fine in there. You'll get serenaded all summer.
ETA: In the "suprise in our compost" department, I opened it the other day to find several potato plants! Apparently the eyes we had cut off a potato weeks ago sprouted, and got all the way to making leaves in our compost before we noticed it. It was pretty nifty. We've found mushrooms in there too.
