    When and why did crickets become the go to feeder insects?

    That's part of the problem, the availability of Dubias are also a major cause. Some people regularly use crickets and just refuse to change as well.

    When and why did crickets become the go to feeder insects?

    I'm assuming that by this you mean if Dubia roach diseases are worse than that of a cricket, I would say that the cricket definitely has more of an issue with that, being able to carry parasites and such. But as i stated, some inexperienced buyers may think that Dubia Roaches have severe...

    Insects you really don't like?

    kek, if i had to pick a second it'd be the Rice Moth, Corcyra cephalonica. Those things were such a nuisance back when i was younger, they'd fly out of rice bags in swarms and flutter around my house for an uncomfortably long time. (Ps: fleas suck too)

    When and why did crickets become the go to feeder insects?

    Dubia roaches are an excellent feeder roach, they are low fat and also rich in nutritional values. However some tarantulas won't be able to immediately figure out how to get to the soft bottom of the roach, with my tarantulas they'd fiddle around with it when hungry, and then leave it alone...

    Pharaoh ants, i absolutely despise those things. I'l open up my freezer and see about 50 of them trying to rob food from me, the worst part is that there was so much dirt on it that i had to throw the food away anyways. Next day i found Pharaoh ants in my garbage can.
