@Accy cyclist You do realise that it's illegal & you are open to prosecution?

It's too late to talk me out of it! I've made my mind up! Au revoir my chirping friends!

Not sure why you bothered to start this thread when you had obviously already decided what you were going to do.
It is a really bad idea to release non native species into the ecosystem - many countries have very strict laws and you can't predict the effects.
Not to mention probably subjecting them to a long lingering death just because you feel that feeding things to other things is a bit icky

Accy, your threads have taken me to places I had never thought existed, and beyond.

But you voted to keep them!

It was a slow news day in @Accy cyclist's mind, haven't you noticed he needs monthly snowflake treatment?

Yes I did, but it's like Brexit. So much misinformation regarding the subject in hand they said. I was a " leave the EU" in that vote and I still think the same, but with these crickets I did think stay, but now I've decided they need to leave..

To those concerned about these creatures being released into the 'wild' you have to realise that far worse than them are brought in every day from imported food and passengers at airport arrivals bringing in god knows what!

You can just see the headlines of next month’s local rag now... “Accrington overrun by plague of crickets...Moses nowhere to be seen...!”

You beat me to it!

I know that they aren't crickets, but I ate deep-fried locusts in China a number of years ago.....from what I remember, they were crunchy on the outside and soft in the centre

Two wrongs don't make a right.

It's alright, if we start getting overrun by crickets we can just release a few cane toads. That should sort them out.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Some very big wrongs and maybe a tiny one from me i'd say.
