Jeremy, I don't have an answer for you on temperature.  All I can say is
that you may want to increase the number of fly hatcheries you are
running to increase your yields.

In the meantime, you can get 1000 pinhead crickets FedEx'ed one-day
shipping for not too much from some of the herp supply places around the
country (I don't have any names off the top).
