I accidentally killed my entire colony of lobsters except for a couple dozen very tiny survivors. I'll tell that story if anyone lets me know they would like that.

For the short term, I'm stuck with juvvie crickets. My roommate told me he would remove all my furniture to outside and spray my room if he ever hears a single roaming male. He's had very bad experiences in the past. I need to do my best to separate the sexes.

I understood the store owner's explanation on how to sex them.
But now I have doubts. He said males have almost no anal feelers at all, and females have long slender ones.

The conflict is that all my crickets (older juvvies) have anal projections. Some are double and very slender. I assume these are females. The other type has a single short, somewhat fatter, anal projection. Are these the males?

Can someone clarify accurate cricket sexing for me?

Thank You,

Roger
