Crickets laying eggs??

[Oneida]

I noticed that crickets have been depositing something on the leaves in the tank i keep them in, is this eggs, or just cricket poop??

I guess it's dependant on the cricket species, but the crickets i've always used for food tend to lay their eggs just below the surface of any substrate im using, eco-earth etc. It may still be eggs though. The micro crickets you'll see should any eggs hatch are, just that, micro... Hard to see until the little buggers start escaping :roll:

Yeah it's probably eggs. The females will lay eggs as soon as you put them on any kind of substrate.
