Crickets munch on microplastics–especially if they have a big mouth (phys.org)

On the one hand, this was a lab based study, so doesn't reflect their diet in the real world.

Let's hope nothing further up the food chain eats crickets in large quantities. You know, like birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, inverts...


So we can clean up microplastics, with enough crickets?


You can convert microplastics to nanoplastics, which is environmentally worse.


well, different anyway
