They grind them up for cricket protein powder too. I have enough damn crickets in my backyard to feed an army. If you leave something outside on the ground for a day like a plank of wood, then flip it over the next day there will literally be hundreds of them huddled up under there. It's annoying as can be when one of them makes its way inside the house and starts chirping. I had one that got up against the compressor on the refrigerator a while back that took forever to find. That cricket was like houdini escaping me several times hiding somewhere else, then going back to the 'fridge because of the heat it put out.
