I don't like chasing crickets around in their box with my long tweezers, I have to think of a better way to keep crickets, they're crazy to catch!
Unfortunately the worms and other invertebrates that live in our yard are unsafe to feed to our pets. It is very likely that these worms and insects are exposed to pesticides or other chemicals that can be very harmful to amphibians. With enough chemical buildup it can be lethal to the frog. So I do not recommend catching critters around a house, park, etc. It may not worth the risk to your pet's health.
