9/6/09 New Mexico Child Of The Earth (Another Journey in MyZahs life).posted on 1/13/10

9/6/09 at 12:47 pm on Sunday morning went out on the porch to enjoy the peace, and study some TRUTH, in my swing, then I saw the craziest thing, I went and got my camcorder, (MYAN, I ant never seen, NOTHIN like this before, definitely not in Chattown TN. The craziest thing I seen down there was back when I was a little girl, and we stay in boonheights, them big (a__rates), that would stand from the ground to your knees, and that ant no joke I'm 34yrs old and I was between 8-9yrs old back then, but after I moved here I don't know what 2 expect), and as I was recording, this junk got even crazier, when I sat down from recording it, a dream came to mind, I though back on 11/21/07 cause I always write my dreams down, and this dream I'll never forget, cause they came back to back 3 days in a role 11/19/-11/21/07, and they were crazy cause it felt like I was there, its too much 2 type

@915Alcapone915 I DON'T THINK SO, BECAUSE I'VE SEEN SMALLER ONE AFTER THIS ONE.

They're called Jerusalem crickets, they're not the type to hang out in packs, however they are commonly found when prepping the ground for planting. So if you have a garden that may be a case as well. They arn't poisonous, but they do hurt when they bite and they emit a foul smell like a stink bug. The other ones may have started showing up to mate or something. Not sure how many you found but it's a possibility, as it's getting around spring time.

@Darriok they have a lot of other names too... child of the earth, potato bug, jerusalem cricket... at least people in Texas say child of the earth anyway. Either way I think they're cute... ;u;

I was born in Farmington New mexico, but now im stationed in Fort Bragg North Carolina. But when i was a kid me and my dad was fixing the backyard to put a pool in and we need the ground straight, and while we was doing it my dad told me to back up and i did, but i felt the worst pain in my ankle and i saw it. I freaked out and stepped on it over and over. I started to taste potatoes :l.
