Are there cricket legs in peanut butter?

There could be cricket legs in peanut butter - but not as the whole leg. If you look in the USFDA Defect Action Level Handbook, there could be up to 29 insect fragments in each 100g of peanut butter. Good manufacturers are going to be way below that, though. If you read the Related Link, you will learn more about it.

Are there eggs in peanut butter?

There can be insect parts in peanut butter. According to the FDA Defect Action Levels (see Related Links), 30 or more insect parts per 100g of peanut butter would be considered adulterated. That means it could have 29 insect parts and still be considered OK. Realize that a good company is going to aim for much less.
