The Black Cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) is a popular feeder insect known for its deep, jet-black colour and robust size. Larger and more active than many other crickets, it provides excellent stimulation for reptiles and other insectivores.
Rich in protein and essential nutrients, it supports healthy growth and can be easily gut-loaded to boost its value. Hardy and energetic, this species is a reliable and nutritious choice, though slightly more active and vocal than quieter crickets.
