I recently started crickets, as it turned out brownies, in this regard, there were questions... I searched for information on these insects, everywhere it is written that they are bred, so to speak, separately, i.e. they put a container with a substrate to adult crickets, and then they take it with the laid eggs and grow young animals in another container. Is it possible to keep crickets all in one container, say an aquarium with a solid ground of earth or peat? Will at least a part of the offspring survive, sufficient to maintain a stable insectarium population?

And another somewhat abstract question - do crickets bite, i.e. are they capable of biting through human skin? I just watch them nibble hard food famously and even carry balls of dry food in their "teeth", which means that the mandibles about them open quite wide...

He can jump, but it's very awkward and bad. By the way, if it is politely transplanted from grass to hand, it does not resist and does not show any fear or aggression towards a person. On the hand sits confidently and proudly. It moves with slow steps, swaying from side to side as if in the wind. If you gently stroke it, it becomes alarmed, raising its antennae, but nothing else. In general, it seems to be afraid of little.

Prey attacks with a lightning throw, pinning the victim between the thigh and shin of the front 2 pairs of legs. I.e., not only the front, but also the middle legs serve as hunters.

In lizards and mantises, the neck is immediately chewed out.
