Millions of Mormon crickets have descended on six counties in Nevada creating a bug-infested nightmare for many residents.

I think we are supposed to refer to them as Latter Day Crickets.

[andrewpierce]

It gets worse when they knock on your door and ask if you have a moment to talk.

[Salty]

Get it right, they are now called Church of Latter Day Saints crickets.

[dave]

Just think of how many missionaries it took to convert all those crickets...

[MikeJohnson-njry]

Seagulls are on strike until futher notice.

[lutomson]

they make great chicken and turkey feed full of protien

[tomservo]

'they poop everywhere', well, they aren't called Mormon crickets for nothing

[jesusisalive]

Those are small for mormon crickets. They are usually twice that big. They have been so thick at times that they have caused car wrecks. They would get run over and their remains would make an oil slick type situation.

You will own nothing, you will eat bugs and you will be happy!

[GeorgeSkinner-eqjd]

Better than Johovis Witness crickets. They’d be knocking on your front door.

[skiyalater]

Wasn't aware the Mormons baptised crickets too. What next?

[raeannetilbury]

Gather them up and sun dry them. Use them for chicken feed supplement

[UncleFjester]

*the Hasidic Crickets are so tight they squeak when they walk!*

[desperadodeluxe]

Crickets are good luck when they live in your bag

[douglasdunnentertainment]

This is not PC! They should be called, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Crickets"! Be consistent!

[publix]

Hey they should be lucky at least you're not giant cockroaches

[toastnjam]

I live in Vegas and first saw a couple of them a week or so ago and immediately thought "Are we going to see an infestation?" It sometimes happens after an above average rainy season. So far it's still only a few a day where I live.

[thecross]

that cricket’s got great comedic timing. either that or they threw it on her.

[philbrooks]

Can't use the M word slur because that's a "Victory for Satan".

[edvisme]

The Utah Mormon Air Force will take care of those little bastards if they come into the Wasatch. It has happened before.
