Hey, I was cleaning my cage the other day and noticed a bunch of little tiny bugs crawling around in the soil. Ive heard a lot about little dirt nats, so I first assumed it was these making a new home in the moist plant soil. At a closer glance though, I noticed they were a bunch of little baby crickets. After coming to the assumption that the adult feeder crickets have laid their eggs in the dirt I was able to witness it first hand.
Today, after throwing in some new feeders into the outdoor cage, I was able to watch the crickets actually stick their Ovipositor into the dirt for about 2-3 mins at a time; doing what I believe to be laying eggs. Anyway, I guess my question is... Is it a problem that my crickets are laying eggs in my plants potting soil?
