There is only one type of cricket available, Acheta domestica. As far as getting them off of the Internet, I think the minimum is 500, 250 if you're lucky. To keep them from drowning, I make "cricket ladders" out of needle point mesh you can get at arts and crafts stores. I cut it into strips, then cut it to length for the bowl being used. See the picture below. (I should've patented this idea, but it's two late. This picture ended up in a book.) More pics in my profile.

I am actually a '64 baby, so that would make me older than you. I want to be 21 again.
