Waco, Texas
Dateline Waco, Texas:
Several businesses in the Central Texas town of Waco (WAY’-koh) are dealing with a smelly problem that won’t go away: decaying cricket carcasses.
A bank, a drugstore and other businesses have been inundated with the odorous onslaught of dead crickets that have been trapped inside walls and have collected on sidewalks.
Fred Huffman, an entomologist who runs a local pest control business, says the cricket problem has been worse this year because mild winter conditions resulted in the insects appearing earlier than normal.
Oh, so that’s what they’re blaming the odor in Waco on now? I liked it better when they just blamed it on Baptists.
Thanks to Stephen for the heads up.
