Actually just pulling the back legs off will slow them down and make them easier to catch!

ive found that a cricket still has 80-95 percent mobility with its front four legs thus if I need them to slow down I remove them all. and the cricket can wriggle his way around. Thats the problem with crickets, they evolved to walk withougt their back legs if the need arised so they could escape from predators.
