If they could choose, where would domesticated crickets choose to be?

Actual nature would be a bit harsh for these Acheta domesticus, who are raised in climate-controlled tanks as food for reptiles, but perhaps they still yearn for the pastoral grasslands and woodlands experienced by their wild relatives?

Amy Young has constructed a safe bubble for them: the Holodeck for House Crickets. This enclosure provides an artificial interactive landscape for the insects. Through the use of a computer interface, the crickets are able to “interact” with their projected environment by chirping. Each chirp advances the panoramic, cricket-eye-view video footage of outdoor scenery.
