 Genetic morph of house cricket!

i was feedin some young bearded dragons when i found a unusual cricket. it was about to get eaten by one of the dragons but i reached in and chased it down and caught it. i put it into a container to compair to other crickets. i thought it may be an albino however the body is still light brown.

this cricket has WHITE EYES !!! every other cricket i compaired it to had black eyes, even the freshly shed crickets have black eyes.

its basicaly a normal cricket (maybe slightly lighter colored) but its eyes are as white as paper or the same color as a freshly shedded cricket.

i hope to see it right after he sheds. ill try and get pictures if i catch him after a shed because he would be 100% white. (normal crickets are white with black eyes)


im going to try and breed my cricket with some other normals. im hoping its a male so i can add several females. maybe some of the young will have white eyes, if not ill save alot of them and breed those. maybe the f2 generation will produce white eyes.

good, i was actualy hoping it would be a male, that means he can breed with lots of females right? now i gota go through hundereds of crickets at work and pull out the females that are about the same age. lol
