When you’re a cricket, your chances of survival boils down to 2 key things: evading a swarm of predators and locating nutritional meals. But what exactly do crickets eat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because most crickets are omnivores, food isn’t tough to obtain for them. Nothing, even including their own family, is off-limits when the opportunities are scarce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crickets are members of the Orthoptera group and are directly connected to grasshoppers. Except for Antarctica, these insects can be found practically everywhere on the planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crickets come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each with its own dietary patterns. Most bugs, like us, are omnivores, meaning they consume both meat and plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crickets aren’t fussy eaters and will eat just about anything. These bugs consume food scraps, textiles, draperies, and furnishings in people’s houses. They can devour cardboard, stockpiled grains, oats, and plastic containers since they have natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If left uncontrolled, these bugs can consume all of the plants in your yard. Plants including barley, rye, fruit, vegetables, and corn have seeds and stems that the insects can devour. In a single day, they can demolish multiple rows of saplings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
