[QUOTE="Denny Dee, post: 42615, member: 1393"] Hello, I received a free batch of Banded Crickets ([I]Gryllodes sigliatus[/I]) at a show last weekend. They are shorter than the standard crickets that I normally feed my inverts. They do have very long antennae which can be less desirable for web feeders as the crickets can detect the webs before they crawl into it. But overall, they look healthy and are the perfect size for some of my specimens. However, they do seem faster and possibly more aggressive. I have one in an Assassin bug tank and they are freaking out a little. The cricket seems to be displaying threat posture. Does anyone have any experience feeding this particular species of cricket? Pros and Cons welcome. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
