Hell yeah
Lmao cricket warfare
Look mate, biological warfare is definitely not cricket.
What did the poor insects do to deserve this?
Tru, crickets get a rough lot
INFINITE CRICKETS ON TERF ISLAND
Comrade Crickets
Lady Bugs are pretty easy to buy In large numbers if I remember right, and they fly, and love to hang out in little nooks and crannies.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWL25NWJ
1500 live Ladybugs for about $10.
i think the big thing is they make a lot of noise
Oooh yes that makes more sense. It’s early 😴. I’m just imaging all these turfs trying to get ladybugs out of their hair.
The crickets bought for this kind of thing are typically sold for pet food (spiders, snakes and other insect pets eat them). They are always the silent kind because nobody wants noisy crickets as petfood.
They are always the silent kind
I fucking wish
Lol they’re supposed to be
You can buy live animals on amazon US?
The US Postal Service will ship and handle packages with live chicks inside.
It’s not that the post service will do it that surprises me. It’s that amazon does it. There’s nothing like this on the UK variant although I know the post service will take live crickets and things.
If they didn’t, I’d have to revise my business model a bit.

I worked for an insect farm for over a year. It was run by unremarkable capitalists of mediocre intelligence who wouldn’t accept any assertion that there was room for improvement.
Because they failed so hard at growing a certain species of grub, we had to truck in our stock of that species from another company so we could resell it. They must have had pretty bad containment procedures because crickets got in with the grubs. But the crickets were fine in transit.
You can buy a lot of insects that people use for pest control (ladybugs, mantis egg cases) or animal food (crickets, various larva), or pets (ants, centipedes).
And apparently also hermit crabs, which seems extra cruel
This is wild to me
Were I to deploy a swarm of insects as a protest, I’d probably go for locusts since they’re a pretty common feeder insect
They’re actually the same animal as crickets! Sorta! It’s really strange but when I a big group crickets will become locusts after a generation or so and in smaller groups vice versa.
Crickets are different from grasshoppers, they’re in the same order but different families. Grasshoppers are the ones that turn into locusts.
Typically you can buy crickets from the Acheta or Gryllodes genus pretty easily, the ones for this prank probably cost around $70-100.

I got crickets and grasshoppers mixed up
In Finnish, the word “sirkka” is applied to a variety of insects in the order Orthoptera (crickets, grasshoppers, locusts and katydids)
“Sirkka” on its own means cricket
“Heinäsirkka,” (lit. hay/grass cricket) = grasshopper
“Kulkusirkka,” (lit. wandering cricket) = locust
On the other hand, we call katydids horse cats

The resemblance is uncanny
Agreed. It might be selective empathy, but I feel bad for the crickets, though I suppose considering they were probably bought as feed they might not have had much of a future anyways. The TERFS deserved something like roaches or (if they could be released without affecting the activists) fleas, lice, ticks, etc. anyways.
Hope some comrade crickets made it out alive
Thank you for your sacrifice, Comrade Crickets.
Crikey!!
Insect Warfare is not just a grindcore band now
Damn, a plague of insects. Gettin’ biblical, I like it!.. Just please no floods right now 🙏
