Crickets typically have a gestation period of about 7 to 14 days, while grasshoppers usually take around 10 to 20 days. In terms of time to reach adulthood for lab use, crickets generally mature faster, taking approximately 6 to 8 weeks from egg to adult, compared to grasshoppers, which can take longer. Cockroaches, depending on the species, can also be relatively quick but may vary in growth rates. Overall, crickets are often considered the better option for rapid cultivation and lab use due to their shorter time to maturity.
