Mormon Crickets - manudevil20 - 08-03-2012

Hey everybody. I am looking to see if there has been any reports lately of the Mormon Crickets were still out. I am gonna go do some catfishing tonight and hoping i can go find some beforehand that is close by to me. I am in Caldwell and usually fish the Parma area. Also does anybody know if you can buy them?

They start out small and get bigger as they eat everything in sight.

Re: [hooknhunter] Mormon Crickets - idahoron - 08-05-2012

That might be it. I know when I have seen them they are late summer and huge. Ron

Re: [Biglew] Mormon Crickets - jeremypeace - 08-05-2012

Them are way different then what im thinking. The ones im thinking of are about 4 or 5" long are redish orange in color and kinda look like a giant ant.

Re: [idahoron] Mormon Crickets - mudsucker - 08-06-2012

Ahh, I see. The thought of a 4-5" ant is fairly terrifying.

Re: [mudsucker] Mormon Crickets - StacyR - 08-06-2012

Some places sell them frozen. I saw them at Sportsman's last year, but I haven't checked lately.

They sell Jerusalem Crickets? Ron

Re: [idahoron] Mormon Crickets - jeremypeace - 08-06-2012
