some evening entertainment, tropical house crickets squabbling quite athletically over a vegetable biscuit.

mostly in slow motion, so you can appreciate their tiny but very forceful antics. love the slowmo angry-chirping turning into whooping

Graciela getting a meal in (with a little help). crickets are her favorite food & I might as well help her feed her cravings, since she’s eating for 20-50 now!
I got a batch of banded crickets in & I typically feed off the poor injured/half cannibalized ones first. however that meant Graci couldn’t sense its movements until I pointed it out to her. in fact, she spent a good five minutes just sitting in front of it and started preening her chelae without ever realizing:

still many months out until the scorplings will be born, potentially up to a year. I’m sure they will be worth the wait!

In E.M. Forster's Maurice, Where Did the Idea for the Cricket Scene Come From?
Having visited Edward Carpenter's house, where E.M. Forster initially conceived the idea for Maurice during his visit in 1913, I find it interesting that the Carpenter estate is located right next to a cricket club called "Holmesfield Cricket Club," established in 1905.
For those familiar with Maurice, cricket likely carries some significance—in the novel, it is through cricket that Maurice and Alec first experience their "us against the world" moment:

"Maurice played up too... and he felt that they were against the whole world, that not only Mr Borenius and the field but the audience in the shed and all England were closing round the wickets. They played for the sake of each other and their fragile relationship If one fell the other would follow. They intended no harm to the world, but so long as it attacked they must punish, they must stand wary, then hit with full strength, they must show that when two are gathered together majorities shall not triumph." - Maurice, E.M. Forster

This "us against the world" mentality is exactly what Edward Carpenter and George Merrill (the real-life models for Maurice and Alec) had lived by. The couple resided in this remote, secluded place, surrounded by forests and woods, outside society, like two brave outcasts, mirroring how Maurice and Alec live in their own fictional "greenwood'.
The cricket scene in the novel is obviously a foreshadow to that life as outcasts away from society, but I'd never really thought about why Forster chose cricket as a medium for Maurice and Alec to have their first pivotal "us against the world" moment. I simply assumed that cricket, being a popular sport, was an easy and natural plot device for Forster.
Then, I visited the Carpenter house, and saw the Holmesfield Cricket Club right next to it, and couldn't help but deduce that Forster, who had previously visited the house on a few occasions before 1913 and was inspired by Carpenter and Merrill during his 1913 visit to write Maurice, likely also noticed the cricket club. This observation might have sparked the idea of incorporating a cricket match into the story, thus establishing a direct connection between Maurice and Alec's "us against the world" moment and the Carpenter house—the very physical birthplace of the novel where the real-life models of Maurice and Alec lived.

This is just my theory. In fact, there isn't any mention of the Holmesfield Cricket Club in Forster's diaries and drafts related to Maurice. However, one thing I learned from reading Maurice is that there is no coincidence in the novel, so it's my personal belief that this connection between the fictional plot and the reality of the Carpenter house is also no coincidence—all the more reason why Forster was a freaking genius.

Tfw you look at your friend for confirmation that the situation developing immediately in front of you is just as strange as you think it is
I had a lot of fun making this simple gif, and I'm honestly very happy with how it turned out :> I wouldn't be surprised if Donald and Cricket reacted this way at some point! Donald belongs to @kbthebearcat
