Chocolate Covered Crickets
25 adult crickets
Several squares of semisweet chocolate
Prepare the crickets as described above. Bake at 250 degrees until crunchy (the time needed varies from oven to oven). Heat the squares of semi sweet chocolate in a double boiler until melted. Dip the dry roasted crickets in the melted chocolate one by one, and then set the chocolate covered crickets out to dry on a piece of wax paper. Enjoy! This is a little time consuming to make, but definitely worth it...the crickets are deliciously crunchy!
Did you Know:
You can figure out the temperature by listening to a cricket's chirp.
What you need
watch with a second hand
cricket (find outside or buy from a live bait shop)
jar
nylon stocking
rubber band
What to do
Catch or buy a cricket and put it in the jar.
Cut a piece of the stocking just larger than the mouth of the jar.
Cover the jar with the piece of stocking and secure it with the rubber band.
Count the number of times the cricket chirps in 15 seconds.
Add 40 to this number.
The number you get is the air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
What it's all about
Crickets chirp faster in warm weather than in cold weather. Temperature has a direct effect on many animals, making them more sluggish in the cold. Some animals even hibernate during the winter. Their bodies go into a slowed-down state that requires less energy than normal. Their heart and breathing rates slow, their body temperatures drop and they sleep, surviving off of stored body fat.
Remember, be sure you have a parent, teacher, or other adult help you!
