Is it considered Good Luck to find a cricket in your house?

Question

Just found one in my Kitchen, I carefully took it outside and released it, are they considered good luck...you know like the cricket on the hearth?

Just wondering I could use a little good Luck my way..lol

Answer 1

Luck doesn't exist.

We are blessed or not blessed from our creator.

Answer 2

I'd kill it before it laid eggs because then come other insects and spiders to feed on the crickets.

Answer 3

to the chines it does mean good luck to me ? no!

Answer 4

It depends on which country you are in, I guess.

I have spent a lot of time travelling around Asia and in China they are certainly considered good luck to have around.  In many Chinese markets and the shacks of street vendors you can buy crickets in little bamboo cages to hang in your bedroom or car.  People believe they bring luck - and also find the sound soothing (which may be an accquired taste).  They are similarly kept in some Southern European countries - but I believe this may just be as pets and/or for the sound.

I believe in South America (especially Brazil) and the Caribbean (especially Barbados) crickets chirping in your house can also be a sign that you are about to come into money.  Alternatively it can mean that it's about to rain!

Answer 5

Good luck or not they get in anyway.

Answer 6

Yes!  It means there will be one less insect in your home after you take it outside and release it.
