Entomology (Study of Bugs) - crickets


Expert: Walter Hintz - 11/5/2009

Question
My son doing a project on if crickets like salt or pepper and what it does to them i need help trying to figure this out cant find any thing about it. Besides i know they like salt from one page that i found. Please help me if you can.

Answer
Hi Sabrina;
You probably cannot find out anything about crickets and salt and pepper because it is most likely nobody has ever investigated it.  Your son will just have to set up an experiment in order to find out the answer.  What has he planned so far? What grade level is this? This is a difficult project because he must be able to tell if the cricket is consuming salt or pepper.  My suggestion is to buy some cricket food at a pet store and then add salt or pepper to it.  Look for a product called Flukers Cricket Quencher.  Give me more information about the project
