I recently put 4 crickets in my tank, for my scorpions, 2 are gone, 2 remain. I can't get the other two, every time I try the jump. God I wish that my emps would just eat them or something. Any tips on how to get them out?

Don't worry about them and just let them be. They should not be able to hurt your scorpion. Adult crickets (about 1 inch) have a total life span of about 2 weeks. The smaller they are will add just a few more days. They will die off or finally get eaten in just a few days to a week.

If you're worried about your crickets harming the scorpions, put something in the enclosure for the crickets to eat. Any kind of fruit or vegetable will be good, and I know they'll pick that before they mess with your scorpions.

Kimbeej had a good idea, but here is another one.
Fish net might work
If they get out in your house, you might want to invest in a butterfly net... they are cheap at the dollar store...
Good luck

I use those little paper dixie cups, pinch one side and flatten the other at the open end, then I just scoop them out! Easy. :)
