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.
