I become an orthopteran hospital

Today I have acquired a Stenopelmatus specimen from my swimming pool! It has only five legs and seems somewhat unhealthy so I guess I am keeping it for a while. I released my Porcellio laevis male into the front yard to make room. The isopod was too secretive to be visible anyways, and invisible specimens always make me a bit nervous.


So far the cricket has chewed up an algal wafer and scattered crumbs everywhere. I will have to clean up the mess soon. It also vibrated, which means it is likely an adult (nymphs may sometimes vibrate too).
