Yes. In fact, the frequency of chirps corresponds to the temperature. People outside at night listening to crickets chirp can determine the temperature outside with a math problem. Count the number of chirps a cricket makes in 15 seconds and record this number or remember it. Add 37 to the number you wrote down. You now have a good estimate of the temperature outside.
This equation for cricket chirping is now known as Dolbear's Law.
N.B.:
-- This formula produces the temperature in Fahrenheit.
-- It's only good down to around 55 degrees. Below that temperature,
most crickets are hiding in shelter, and those that are still out are not
singing love songs.
-- The strict answer to the original question is:
No. A cricket can never tell you the temperature. But youcan estimate
the temperature by observing the effect it has on the crickets' behavior.
Caterpillars don't reproduce . The resultant insect does.
since the grass is the crickets food the population of crickets would decrease if all the grass was removed
There are no insects with eyes on their knees. However, there are many kinds of insects with ears on their knees. Some examples include crickets and grasshoppers.
Food and water, of course.
Involuntary skeletal muscle contractions and relaxations create heat and therefore help to regulate body temperature.
yes even outside
When its cold, they stay in their homes, when it's warm or hot, they come out.
Yes they do, as do Crickets, you can tell the temperature by counting chirps per minute..Answered by: people of Answers.comJoin free today!
Crickets live in environments where they can regulate their body temperature. They are ectotherms, which means they don't have physiological mechanisms to maintain their body temperature.
Crickets a sensitive to the change of air temperature. as the temperature gets higher the amount of cricket chirps increase. To find the temperature from cricket chirps, find out the how many cricket chirps are in 15 seconds and then add 39 this will tell you about the right temperature outside in Fahrenheit. This formula only works with snowy tree crickets wich are common throughout North America. Hope this helped! ~Openchakra

Crickets are nocturnal because they are awake at night. You can tell that they are nocturnal by listening to them when they call a mate.
This is a bit confusing. I do not know exactly what you mean by "What is the tempature (temperature) for crickets?" My guess is you meant, "How does temperature play into the lives of crickets?" Crickets communicate through stridulation. This is the rubbing of wings together to "chirp". You can hear this normally outside in the summer. While it is not known why, crickets chirp faster with higher temperature, it steadily represents the temperature outside. One can infer that crickets then do not chirp at temperatures greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit or below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, using this knowledge, scientists have concluded that you can discover the current temperature by counting the number of chirps in 15 seconds and then adding 40. Example: if there are 23 chirps in 15 seconds the temperature is approximately 63 degrees Fahrenheit. I hope that this helps.
Crickets have been known to accurately indicate the temperature. By counting the number of chirps a cricket makes in 15 seconds and then adding 37 to that number you can gain a good estimate of the temperature in Fahrenheit.
I can tell you what the temperature is if I can hear that cricket stridulate for about another five minutes. The fact that crickets stridulate so loudly means that you do not want them chirping inside your house.
Crickets feel vibrations of movement and stop chirping in response to danger. Male crickets make the noise with their forewings to attract a mate and will continue to chirp when they feel the danger is gone.
Yes. Cellular respiration produces ATP, which crickets need so survive, since it is the main way energy is stored in living things. If crickets could not carry out cellular respiration, they would not be alive.
