Making a Chirp
Crickets are jumping insects. Males of most cricket species produce their familiar chirping sounds by rubbing their forewings together to attract females.
Temperature and Sound
Crickets generally chirp faster in warmer temperatures. Their changing rhythm is part of the soundscape of warm evenings.
Habitat and Activity
Crickets shelter beneath rocks and logs in fields, grasslands, and meadows. Many are nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night.
