Crickets Eating Lettuce
(Metacafe link)
This time-lapse video shows how 40,000 crickets eat an entire head of lettuce in an hour’s time. -via the Presurfer
Impressive! I wonder if Trent Teznor could use that clip in a Nine Inch Nail’s video.
Wow, someone on a forum I frequent was just bit by a cricket. I just ‘gotta figure out how to forward this video to him.
Next on Neatorama: Dermested beetles eat an entire human head in less than an hour!

Agh! No! Everytime I end up watching a clip where they show a dead animal being eaten by maggots in fast forward it makes me feel ill. The innards of the animal moving and expanding then collapsing! O_o
I want to see this video ran backwards. 40,000 crickets coming together to create a head of lettuce!
Reminds me of this time lapse video showing the decomposition of a baby pig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN8S6viF3Lw
Don’t watch it if you have a weak stomach.
I want to point out just how cruel this is…the lettuce was STILL ALIVE while it was being eaten!!!!
Aww, I had a cage full of pet crickets there for a while – I’d been wandering through PetSmart and happened upon all those bags of live crickets they sell as food for other critters, and I think it took about 15 seconds of examining them and their cute little crickety faces before I was buying a bag o’ bugs, a cricket cage, and a special jar of cricket food … they were almost as much fun as an ant farm and they really COULD chow down when you fed them something they liked …
