We have all at one time or another tried to keep an insect as a pet. Wrote this for my kids.
Long Legged Dan I found a little cricket and placed him in a can, I even gave him a name and called him Long Legged Dan. I picked lots of grass for him to eat, and dandelions for his afternoon treat. But after about an hour or two, I noticed old Dan was feeling quite blue. He was missing his freedom and feeling homesick, so I turned him loose and he jumped on a stick. I felt kinda sad but tried not to cry, then Dan hopped away as I waved goodbye. Written By Kathy J Parenteau Copyright © 2000 All rights reserved

My experience with much different. We would put them in a bottle with the top screwed on tight full nail holes to let the air in. Feeding the critters was not on our minds. Shortly, whatever we had in the jar would die. There was no funeral, we would just dump them out.
