Fights between animals is huge in asia. You've got cocks, jay thrushes, praying mantises, crickets...
My dad told me when he was a little kid, he used to sneak out to the cemetary at night with his brothers to catch crickets. They would then yank a hair out of the cat and fashion a cricket leash out of it. And yes, they would use the crickets for fighting.

Why exactly do the crickets fight in the first place? My feeder crickets never seem to "fight"
That's hilarious.

It's big in Asia. I first noticed this kind of stuff when I was looking to find info on breeding feeders for my Beardie.

Because winning is a matter of money, in the past 10 years several methods of cheating have emerged such as applying a special smell to the head of a fighting cricket in order to drive away the other, as well as feeding the crickets stimulants.

 **Sigh** Even the crickets are juiced up nowadays...

Crickets that were reluctant to fight were tickled by a long thin paint brush.

Crickets are considered a good luck symbol to some in some parts of China and Japan. This is why there is a cricket lovers association there.

LOL, this quote cracked me up.
"Even today, in parts of eastern Asian, the male cricket will be caged so people can enjoy the song they make."

HHW-How long was you're cats hair!?! Did you have to tie a few together, or what?
In public school we used to catch flies and make a leash out of human hair. It's way funnier than crickets, they just fly in a circle around you hand, but you can't really see the hair so it just looks like it's flying around your hand for some strange reason.
