The Good Luck Cricket is a rare Handsome Trig that can sometimes wander into homes. It has a golden head, a black body, pale yellow legs, and palps that are bright red. When the insects are agitated or excited, they move their palps around quickly and excitedly, as if throwing a punch with boxing gloves on. They are active during the spring and summer, after which they die; like similar insects, they can be found in tall grasses, bushes, or near streams and marshes. Distinguishing the difference between a male and female Trig is easy, as the two have distinct forms. Females have a curved spike at the end of the abdomen (called an ovipositor) that is used to deposit eggs into the ground; this method keeps offspring safe from predators and the weather. Males have a special set of wings that are used to ‘sing’ for potential mates; the flat scrapers at the wing’s top rub against the ridged files at the bottom, generating a repetitive melody. The noise is similar to the sound of bacon frying in a pan, which is related to the saying, “a Good Luck Cricket means good eating!” Having a male Good Luck Cricket in the home is said to bring great wealth to those inside. The capture of this bug often inspires large investments, the purchase of lottery tickets, and other high-risk ventures; however, once several lucky things have occurred to the bug’s captors, it vanishes from the home－taking its luck, and a little of theirs, along with it. Some people believe that if the Trigs are treated well they stay longer and transfer more luck; these individuals place their crickets in cages, feed them regularly with leaves, flowers, and/or fruit, and provide them with a companion.
