Termites eat wood.......
Moths eat clothing.......
Crickets eat foam.......
Once this cricket's descendants and fellow insects inherit it's love of oil-based products then the end of the world is surely near.
Prepare yourself. The further you flee from the Phoenix area the more time you'll have. :biggrin:

That's a cornstarch foam. It dissolves in water too; pretty cool!

I came into this thread expecting to see styrofoam eating a cricket... like "cricket eating" would be the adjective, and "styrofoam" would be the noun. I am disappointed. :(

TMS is right. You can eat it, too. (it's literally food grade) Put a little salt on it and it tastes like stale popcorn.

I got bored at a shipping job once.... :gotme

Why am I not surprised? Ah, who am I to judge; I ate a dog biscuit once. It tasted like cardboard, my dog must be stupid to get that excited over it. :gotme
