McFarlane, J.The house cricket Acheta domesticus (L.) is a very convenient laboratory insect; it is easy to rear (Ghouri and McFarlane 1958), it has a sufficiently short life cycle, the eggs and young nymphs are large enough not to necessitate any special apparatus to be manipulated, and, finally, neither diseases nor parasites are factors influencing the results. Nevertheless, A. domesticus has not been used very often by research workers, and the first to study seriously some aspects or its nutrition were Ghouri and McFarlane (1958), and McFarlane et al. (1959).
