## Features

- Banded Crickets are native to Southern Europe. Our breeding insects are fed on Progrub, bran and potato making them a safe, clean and inexpensive insect. Crickets are rich in protein and relatively easy to store. They are sold in a variety of sizes to suit all needs.
- Brown (banded) crickets proved themselves to be far more nutritious than their rival Black Crickets and Silent Crickets in recent laboratory tests. Brown (banded) crickets were proved to have a higher calorific value and to contain higher levels of protein than both their rivals

This is the second time I have bought these. The first time they arrived mostly alive. This time I had a pile up at the bottom. I know it can be hit or miss with live food and shipping.
