We received 10 live crickets that means 490 were dead upon arrival and we picked them up at the post office so they were not sitting outside

Unreal how many bugs these things caught. The bag was completely full. Kind of sad how many it killed!

I got them faster than I thought, but they were all dead! Every single one was dead! I payed 9$ for dead mealworms...

KILLED THEM DEAD! PUT IT IN THE ANT HOME AND THERE WERE NO ANTS THE NEXT DAY. THERE WERE HUNDREDS AND THEY MOVED OR DIED....

Very happy to get my California Ladybugs! I released them the same night they came and they were super active. The only reason I gave them a 4 is there were about 100 dead ladybugs in the pouch.

Good size but a lot were dead when we received the box and a lot died soon after, even using the potatoes and the cricket food from the pet store.

I have ordered crickets from Josh's a few times now over the past few months. They alway arrive very quick and only had a couple of dead ones in the last order. With earlier orders all the crickets arrived alive. That's important for a young, fast growing beardie.

about 50-100 or more were dead when arrived, but Im not sure how possible it would be to have all of them alive after going through the postal system anywhere.

I vas very happy with the condition of the crickets I received. It came with a good amount of egg cases. I will advise that you pick the best shipping option to prevent as many DOA crickets as possible.

The crickets arrives and were definitely all alive, but there is no way that there were 1,000 included in the box.  I obviously didn't count them, but it seemed to be closer to about 300 based on how quickly our bearded dragon has gone through them.  Nobody else has mentioned having this problem, so it might have just been an unfortunate package.

Claims it may take up to 48 hours to start killing. Noticed dead critters in less than a day. They snatched these things up like candy.

These are a good idea that went wrong. We've used Ladybugs before, but this time with no luck. Although we followed instructions, many were dead when released (not sure if they arrived that way or? - stored in fridge for two days) , and after releasing all of them over a few days, today we counted ONE live ladybug on our plants. Lots of dead ones piled where released (they were dead when poured out - but hard to tell live from dead after being in fridge).

There a good idea, but according to government research, 96% of the bugs fly away within 48 hours. Ours booked early flights! Going to the store for bug spray tomorrow.

I ordered 10 of these and was surprised they came in 10 boxes.

Half of the ladybugs arrived dead. I opened the bag and allowed them to freely exit - there were piles of dead ones that never made it through hibernation. It has been 3 weeks, no lacewings have hatched. No praying mantis results yet but I am still hopeful.

At first I was really happy because I finally received my shrimp faster than expected but the next day after adding them in my planted 5 gallon shrimp tank, 3 were found laying down without moving. I thought they were molting but turns out they didn't survive. Yesterday I noticed another one dead in a corner. I have a male and female left...

Just got my order today. All seemed to be alive, if any were dead not to notice. only thing is that they were very large crickets for being mediums. Other than that i will have to say I will order again but maybe smalls
