Yes - all insects go through metamorphosis. I'm not sure if crickets go through complete metamorphosis the way butterflies and most insects do. Their close relatives, grasshoppers and katydids, are some of the only insects that do not go through complete metamorphosis. Instead, they shed a few times until they reach their adult form. Either way, crickets do go through metamorphosis.
