Cricket with large wings?

[lysinlight87]

One of my crickets has just molted & has developed long flight wings (I though they only had short, stubby wings) So my question is, will it fly at me (I hate them enough as it is) & can neelix still eat it?

I think they wrap them up into thier backs and use them to chirp. None of ours have flew at us anyway lol!

oh good lol. I have to restrain my urge to scream when one escapes & then chase it with a pair of feeding tongs. flying crickets would not be welcomed! I just can't bring myself to touch them. It's those big, beady eyes...

Awww you'll get used to them! I didn't like them at first but now I quite like them remember they're more scared of you!

I've seen people's videos of cham's eating the winged version. Just make sure it's not too big to the point where choking becomes a possibility.

I removed the wings, cos I had heard choking stories too. I don't think it's too big for him to manage
