Most gecko species will do something to allow them to "get it all in". Leopard geckos in this case, will lick the white along their lips to ensure that all of the prey has been completely swallowed. In some cases, cricket antenna's and legs are still hanging out, this allows them to "get it all in". In other cases, some supplements could've been left behind from the insect and they are eating.

Some leopard geckos will "gape" meaning that they are trying to open their esophagus to reduce choking. Like most reptiles they will eat their prey whole, and this assists with the swallowing process.
