About 10 minutes prior to push, your ground crew notifies you that one of the inbound boxes, full of crickets, has burst and there's an infestation of several hundred in your cargo bin.

You're about 40 minutes prior to scheduled pushback.

As far as I'm concerned, the airplane is grounded until they can remove all the crickets and/or exterminate them. Bugs can get into very tight openings and they could get into wiring/circuitry and cause shorts or even a fire in the wrong place.
