It is believed that Crickets bring luck. Especially if found within anyone's dwellings.
My new little buddy isn't a Cricket, but it stayed around vertically clinging to a step in our staircase, and was a wonderful model, no fusses at all!
It curiously looked around, and struck some pretty neat poses for the camera (I took a lot more than just two photos, but didn't want to scare it away by getting too close). It stayed for a long while even after I left it alone, which was not before I stared at it for a long time, and made some loud exclamations of fascination and joy every now and then. I think it quite liked the attention, to be honest!
Although I've got to admit, at first from a distance I did think it could be my 'Lucky Cricket', I figured out it wasn't even from the same family of insects. But then I'm never going to say it isn't lucky.
Because:
Who wouldn't want to be showered with affection as someone's lucky charm?
(especially when you're such a charming guest, friendly and fascinating)
