Crickets - hatching videos

[doom]

It's kind of hard to see them hatching, because they are buried in the ground.
So i used the stereomicroscope and web cam with motion detection option. I've put two well developed cricket eggs on the wet peat.

That is incredible footage! Thanks for sharing! I have always wanted to see one hatch but have never been able to.

Are they Acheta domesticus?

 

[doom]

No, Gryllodes sigilatus.

Ohhh the tropical house cricket. Where did you get them from if you don't mind me asking? I have not raised that species before

 

[doom]

I've got them from the local pet shop. I think they live longer and lay more eggs.
