  • These things do well in north america my god they are in every house i know

  • So this is why I always find crickets with loose legs or even without legs

  • omg lol eat your legs xDD

  • I have those bastards in my basement and I can attest to the fact that they eat themselves. They also eat the dead. I never see any cricket carcasses lying around.

  • not saying theres anything wrong but evolution (no offence relligious people) should of made it so that it could just absorb the nutrients from its legs or somethin

  • lol

  • Yeah, I hadn't really much seriously considered the notion in a long time, so I didn't bother.

  • i believe there are many animals out there that do this you just have to research
