Abstract
Abstract Insects provide a potential source of sustainable, alternative protein that can help meet the protein demands of a growing population. Efficient farming of insects to meet this demand depends on an understanding of insect life history. Yet, detailed information and expertise about a single species are not always available for practitioners to make informed decisions about rearing practices or identify arising issues. The cricket ( Gryllodes sigillatus ) is commonly farmed for human consumption or animal feed, but few studies have characterized the life history of this species throughout ontogeny. Here, we describe the growth and development of G. sigillatus from hatch to adulthood and quantify reproductive traits relevant to mass-rearing and colony management, including egg development. This information provides foundation to start and manage a cricket colony and to conduct research on growth and performance. We highlight ways that a fundamental understanding of cricket biology can be informative for optimizing cricket growth, reducing variability in yield and informing future precision farming practices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
