  11. Anabrus Simplex are part of the shieldback katydid family. not true crickets. any of the Anabrus species and their cousins are pretty neat to keep as pets because they're not as nasty as cockroaches and they're not as noisy as crickets. their small wings make this zweet zweet zweet noise. and their face looks like a cute alien. just put them in a cage with 2 males and 3 females (or 1 and 2 respectively) and just feed them corn, cucumber, and rabbit food. shrimp and meal worms once a while. also a bowl of soil so they can dig and lay eggs and some vegetations for hiding spots. spray water once or twice a day.

  12. Can't farm ducks help? Also for Florida snails?
