Female crickets
Acheta domesticus exhibit phonotaxis in response to male calls, signifying a prospective mate.
Experimental animals.--Adult
Acheta domesticus were obtained from a large, genetically heterogeneous breeding population housed in an acrylic terrarium (78 cm x 56 cm x 39 cm) maintained at 30[degrees]C with a 12 h light/12 h dark photoperiod.
[23] fractionated the lipids extracted from organs in adult females belonging to
Acheta domesticus into three classes: neutral lipids (NLs), polar lipids (PLs), and free fatty acids (FFAs).
For recording the foraging activity of scorpions in the laboratory, common prey items i.e., grasshopper nymphs and adults, Acrida conica (Fabricius, 1781) (Orthoptera: Acrididae); houseflies, Musca domestica (Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera: Muscidae); lycosid spiders, Pardosa sumatrana (Thorell, 1890) (Araneae: Lycosidae); moths, Manduca quinquemaculata (Haworth, 1803) (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae); and house crickets,
Acheta domestica (Linnaeus, 1758) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) were collected from scorpion habitats.

Los dos anfibios se mantuvieron en el laboratorio de la UAM-Iztapalapa en una terrario de 20x25x40 cm, con la mitad del piso cubierto de tierra y la otra mitad con 3 cm de agua, y como alimento se les ofrecieron grillos (
Acheta domestica).
Insect farming is a new field; cricket farming for human consumption with Gryllus bimaculatus, the native cricket and
Acheta domesticus, the house cricket, has been practiced in Thailand, Laos and Viet Nam for some years while in temperate regions mealworms have been cultivated for fish bait and crickets and grasshoppers for pet food.

Lizards were fed crickets (
Acheta domestica) dusted with calcium and vitamin powders (Rep-Cal and Herptivite [c]).
Our overall results are consistent with a concurrent research project where we demonstrated that armadillos showed stronger attraction live worms (Lumbricus terrestris, Pheretima hawayanus, and Eisenia fetida) and crickets (
Acheta domesticus) relative to chicken or quail eggs (Ober et al., 2011).
