To those who provided information on when to plant rhizomes, thanks. We had an infrequent beautiful day today, and they are planted now. My blasted crickets are still at it. The constant rain has washed away the pesticide, and they are voracious. They favor the smaller rhizomes I transplanted from my mom's garden. I was taught the old wives tale that they are good luck. But this has changed my mind for sure! I am wondering when they'll start dying.....

At this point you might want to try one of Michaels stupid pet tricks. Frame the iris closely with a double row of Duct tape sticky side up. Cut a wire hanger and bend into U shaped pins or use large nails to secure the corners. It won't prevent them from eating your iris but it will catch a number of them. Crickets prefer the dark so tape coated cardboard under a bucket or similar also makes a good garden trap.
