   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.

   40,000 eating a lettuce = 40,000 crickets worth of cricket poo.

   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

   The time-lapse makes this look scary

   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 …
