I figured it out. The males have wings.

Or maybe they are some kind of carapace that extends down to the narrow end of their abdomens. Females have no wings at all. So I went out to he parking lot with two containers and nabbed every male from a group of about 60 - 70, and let them go (not really a favor ). It was easy. Although the weather was on my side, reading down in the low 60's, which slowed them all down I think.



If I ever have to select through a warm frenzied mixed group, I will cool them down first.



Also, you don't need water gel. A soda cap with cotton or crumpled TP works. Even the tiny ones can walk out, because crickets are wall-walkers. Just clean it every few days.
