Soooo cute....
...just out of curiosity, have you tried isolating brown flakes, green flakes and red flakes -- to see how their appearance changes?

Have not tried that...
But I do see different colored crickets! Most are red because they seem to like the red ones the best, but I do see some green and brown crickets too.
