That's it! Tom & Jerry for sure. There's been several times I've tipped over feeding cups and had to dive for crickets like crazy. Hey, now at least we've got some background music to lighten the mood.

Gosh that's my nightmare too!
A stray roach showing up when we had company has always been my nightmare too. The stray crickets are bad enough. I now fondly remember the good old days when all I had to worry about was whether or not a cat would attempt to straddle the cooked Thanksgiving turkey sitting on the kitchen counter. That actually happened one year as my new in-laws looked on. It was most fortunate that they were also cat "people". There are not too many roach "people" out there though.
I've had roaches escape the chameleon's jaws of death in a cage several times. They live under the rocks I put over the plant soil. Several times I have taken plants that have been in a long empty cage outside to sterilize them with a bleach/water solution along with the cage so that I could safely use them again. As soon as the bleach/water solution hits the plant the escapee roach will quickly exit the potted plant and head off to a new and probably short life in my garden.
I once dropped 1,000 3/8 inch crickets on the wood floor in the house. I soon realized I had no chance of capturing them by hand. I got the vacumn out and sucked them all up with the attachment. It was either lose 1,000 crickets to the vacumn or keep finding them all over the house forever. Well, thanks for all the laughs everyone! Bye

That's what I figured, but I couldn't prove it. Wish I knew how to prevent it.
