You guys are probably gonna LYAO at this, but I'm gonna post it anyway! I was feeding the other day, and yet again I was amazed at the seemingly suicidal tendencies of crickets! I mean, they KNOW the T is there, and act as if they know they are in mortal danger, yet they keep coming back, closer and closer until their fate is sealed! I watched one walk up under my B. boehmei to the point that if she didn't eat it, it would have crawled right up into her mouth! So here's my Q: are crickets just the most stupid life form on the planet, OR -- is there something maybe that we don't know yet, some chemical that the T's possess that crix just can't resist that lures them to their death?
