Black Crickets vs. "Normal" Crickets

cave crickets are free in my area if you know where to collect them. Also the black crickets are common in my area, i have them in my yard.

in my younger years i used to do alot of work under houses in the south. there were always hundreds of cave crickets under almost every house. they always creeped me out and are easier to find than you would think.
 
I caught a few black crickets in my garage last summer by putting a piece of cardboard on the ground and lifting it up in the morning and grabbing as many as I could. I put them in a separate breeding box. I only had about 12. I didnt get any results. I ran 9 generations of crix before I ordered egg crate and infected them all.
 
I'm still working on it! If anyone wants to send me some females, that would be awesome! I have a ton of nymphs, but not a single one has molted since they got her 1+ months ago!!! :mad:
