what an idoit i alomst was...and my wife would have killed me!! we picked up 500 crickets at the sandiego IRBA show and just a bit ago i tried to put them all in the aquarium by just cutting the tape on the top and openig the box!! DOH!! i realized my mistake and dumped the entire box into the aquarium but the box is just a bit tallerand i had I THINK 20 eccapees! i yelled for my kids to help and they rounded most/all of them up while i quickly moved everything OUTSIDE! needless to say if i buy in bulk again i won't be making that mistake again! LOL

lol, good job. Its not as bad, but once i had 100 crickets in a container, and when i moved the chord for the light, it fell over, and most got out, but luckily i think only ten escaped after i collected them all.
