Completely Confused By A Cricket

So the other night while I was alone in a dark apartment, I encountered 4! crickets before going to bed! Record-breaking. Disgusting. I hate those things. They always dampen my mood. Anyway, I Raided each one, but since I don't like touching bug bodies (even through a kleenex) I tend to put over-turned cups on top of their reacting-to-the-Raid squirming exoskeletons.. with the plan to vacuum them up later. So I put Jon's NASCAR plastic mug thing over this one in our bedroom. It wasn't moving anywhere, so I know I'd been successful in trapping it. Die silently! yesss!

2 days go by.

I bravely lifted the mug so that when Jon comes in at 3am tonight, he doesn't knock the mug, reveal the bug, and have a fit of bug dance on his way to bed, ha. But to my surprise, IT WAS GONE!! Completely disintegrated! ...seemingly. It wasn't on the interior of the mug either. What happened?!? Did it jump away when I thought I put the mug over it? I don't think so, it was pretty crippled. Does Raid + bug + little oxygen = disintegration?!

Anyway I was so glad I didn't have to touch it :)
