sorting crickets by size

I'm sure others have this issue & may have their own idea & method for sorting smaller crickets out for feeding to a smaller Cham or babies.
I keep my crickets in one container, but needed a way to sort out some smaller ones for feeding my smaller/younger cham.

I took a jar & drilled a couple of small holes in the top. I then put in crickets from the tube (all sizes) then I turned the jar upside-down in a cup that would keep it suspended off the bottom.
after several adjustments in the hole size, enlarging it a little bit each time, I got the size I wanted, one that let just the size crickets through that I needed.

Here are a few pictures to show how it works.

Great idea. I sort my roaches in a similar way... but never thought about sorting my crickets like that. Thanks for the tip!!
