Armstrong's Crickets at Global Pet Expo |
The crickets are used as food for various pets, such as lizards, and they are bought live. Seeing this display kind of made me want a little cricket farm! Nothing big scale, just a little desktop thing. Guess a few crickets can turn into many in a short period of time, though...
Besides live crickets and mealworms, the booth also boasted chocolate covered crickets, and cricket lollipops. I wouldn't eat one, but I'm a vegetarian, so my taste is probably a moot point...

The booth also showed crickets in different life stages, from tiny to rather big. My incredibly brave colleague Maya got in close contact with them.
I have to admit I'm kind of afraid of bugs, but these were cute. They didn't exactly like sitting on a person, but they were good sports for the photo opportunity!
I used to have a lizard that ate these. I've never tried one personally lol.
ReplyDeleteI bet lizards love them, but I don't want to eat them, LOL! They're kinda cute, in a "buggy" way.
DeleteI think you're now ready for "Fear Factor" the TV Show ; )
ReplyDeleteOh, eeewww! I could handle a lot of what they do on Fear Factor, but not the eating icky stuff. That's just... No. LOL.
