No caves nearby but we do have a crawlspace and my brother in law does travel around the US as a trucker.

Thanks for your reply.

You can find most anything in N. America here. Good luck.

If you believe that crickets are vegetarians, you would only be part right. The main part of a cricket’s diet is greens, including fresh seedlings, garden fresh fruits, tomatoes, and has even at times been the cause of whole fields being destroyed. This latter destruction is usually attributed to grasshoppers, but crickets have been known to reap similar damage to fields during dry spells, causing large groups to travel together in search of food. If left unchecked in houses, especially in large numbers, they will cause damage to clothing and other fabrics. They also have been known to feed on other insects, as in the smaller ones that live among ants.

Good news is they don't eat people, right?

In the UK this is what we call a Devil's Coach Horse... A little different from your Coach Horses. Wicked name though, imagine 6 of these, dinosaur sized pulling the bad man's coach!
