RE: Have you created many insect farms?
My younger brother had an ant farm for awhile until he accidently dropped it on the floor on day and the ants escaped in his bedroom. He fed them ant food from pet store.

For fun we used to keep native ladybugs in fine net enclosers temporarily during the winter and early spring. We set houseplants in the area with them so they could keep them free of aphids, plus give them a way to drink water when we misted the plant leaves. We would feed them moistened raisins and other non-acid fruit. Then we let them go to have a normal life.

I don't think I would want to raise crickets in the house. Ever been to a pet shop that raises or sells them, the escapies are all over the place. Course if you have pet lizards running free that would solve that problem. lol

I think the insect that gets eaten the most is grasshoppers and locust. In Mexico, I have heard they deep-fry them and somewhere there is a company that makes chocolate covered grasshoppers. I am not that hungry.
