However, instead of a splinter of wood, what should fall out of my shoe but a big, gnarly spider cricket leg! (Spider crickets - which look like small weta - run rampant in our basement, which is particularly unfortunate, as that is where our bedroom happens to be located.)
To top it off, when I turned to look at my shoe...a rather dazed and slowly dying spider cricket was staring back at me.
I'd been wearing my shoes for a little over an hour at that point but somehow managed to stifle my scream.
I've been rigorously shaking out my shoes ever since.

Oh my! We have those in our basement as well. They freak me out badly! When we first moved into my house I thought they were regular crickets so I was just going to throw it outside and when I bent down to pick it up I stopped and looked at it, I about jumped out of my skin. Haha! they look so weird. Im sure if I found one in my sock or shoe I would have had a COW! :D I give you coo dos for not freaking out.
