How much do crickets eat?

The amount of food a cricket eats depends on the species of cricket and the availability of food. On average, a cricket can eat up to twice its own body weight in food per day. Crickets are omnivorous and will eat a variety of plant matter, including leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds. They will also eat other insects and small animals, such as mites, aphids, and worms. Crickets are scavengers and will often feed on dead or dying insects and animals.
