Woah 'O.o Sweat~~~

This afternoon I observed my crickets for 15 minutes straight and saw something pretty...well, you will see...

Yes the crickets were killing each other and eating their comrades.

I am not lying. They were really doing it. You want to get to all the glory details?

So, this fat cricket was upside down for some reason and it couldn't get up. So it was struggling and struggling and struggling. Another cricket came and began biting its throat. The injured cricket struggling more but the stronger cricket just kept on biting. Finally the injured cricket was DEAD. So, the other cricket started to eat the carcass. It was chewing the dead cricket's head. Then another cricket came and began biting the dead cricket's fat leg. Then it tore the leg apart from the body and ate the whole thing like a bunny eating a carrot (yeah, you get the point). Then more crickets came and feasted on the dead cricket. I shook the container so they all went away except the dead one (well, maybe it's because it was dead?!). I examined the carcass and it was pretty messed-up. Its gut was leaking out from yeah...you know where it is. Anyway, it was pretty gruesome...but you just have to get use to it for a while...like MEE.
