That includes it not breaking an antenna and getting free, or not being able to jump out of the enclosure before I secure it shut. I use the big 12 inch tongs, which is nice because it keeps me as far away from the cricket as possible but at the same time my skin is crawling and I'm trying not to gag or jump out of my skin. The only time I am not totally grossed out by them is when I'm collecting boluses (is that the correct plural?).    -_-</p></blockquote><p></p>
