A cricket begins its life in an egg. After about 14 days, it will have developed into a nymph. It will break the egg capsule and dig out of the substrate. Nymphs look like small versions of adult crickets with a few differences.
Crickets are hemimetabolic insects, whose lifecycle consists of an egg stage, a larval or nymph stage that increasingly resembles the adult form as the nymph grows, and an adult stage. The egg hatches into a nymph about the size of a fruit fly.
The first stage of incomplete metamorphosis is the egg. During this time, the insect will hatch into a form called a nymph. ... Nymphs usually have a thin exoskeleton and no wings. They eat the same food as their parents and live in the same place.
