From my expirience with crickets (growing up with 2 brothers and playing with inocent little insects) they live about 5 minutes after the hind legs are removed. i highly recommend not conducting an expiriment to prove me right or wrong; can you imagine how painful that must be? But it also depends on the size of the cricket. the smaller ones die sooner than the larger ones, and the larger ones try to escape with their front legs. answering this question brings back memories....
