Crickets as staple food for larger amphibians

[BrittsBugs]

Cut off the head? Is this because they could potentially eat their way out of the frog like meal worms? (Never seen a super worm)

Super worms actually tend to have a very nasty bite, it'd be like feeding a black cricket to your frog, in case you don't know, black crickets bite, while brown crickets tend to climb and try to escape.

Also should they be eaten while as is typically a frog behavior and the head is not crushed, there's been quite a bit of speculation, but no scientific veterinarian agreed proof. Super worms could chew from inside the herp and cause internal bleeding and death.

Much like the insectivore snake that decided it was a wise idea to eat a centipede.
