Hit a dead cricket with my espresso shot yesterday

So I'm pulling a shot at home in my kitchen in Portland and I hear this weird ping sound... turns out a cricket had jumped right into the portafilter basket while I was grinding. I didn't notice until I saw this little leg sticking out of the crema. Has anyone else found random bugs in their coffee setup?

Tossed the whole shot and flushed" is exactly right. Always toss it.

Tossed the whole shot and flushed the group head with hot water right after.

Had a friend find a stink bug in their grinder and @sandra_bennett59 is right, gotta flush that out immediately.
