I can't remember the last time I bought nitecrawlers..I catch my own..for 2 or 3 nites after a decent rain they're easy pickins out in the garden..my Dad taught us kids how to do this when we were young'uns, lots of years ago, and it's kinda fun going out there in the dark, with a flashlite, trying your stealth approach before they zoom back down their hole...sometimes if it's really wet, they are, or are almost all the way out, and then it's too easy...I just use a 1 lb plastic empty butter, or sour cream container..I put a half dozen nail size holes in the cover, mix some garden soil (damp, not wet) with some compost to 'lighten' the mix, catch about a dozen juicy nite crawlers, put a little fresh grass or clover on top, put the lid on, and into a lower container in the fridge...can stay at least a couple months, as long as you don't freeze them or have them too wet...guluk..
