Kids are like sponges; absorbing information they glean by asking seemingly endless questions such as “what do crickets eat?” Their fascination with the insect world entices them to know infinite details, and parents are not always equipped with the answers.Crickets in particular seem to hold a great attraction for children. Maybe it is their excellent jumping ability, the chirping noise they make, or maybe it is their shape; whatever the reason, kids seem to be captivated by them. And, in some countries, adults are as well; many people even enjoy having crickets as pets!
