Get a wee wee thermometer, and some lubricant. Gently, but firmly, grasp the cricket by the wings and gently, ever so gently, insert said thermomater into rectum. Do not let the cricket drop or leave. Readings will be red.
Alternatively.... use a human ear thermometer and gently impose upon its skull, being ever so gentle, so as not to kill the cricket/.

Bearing in mind that crickets seem to be on the Fahrenheit scale:Count the number of chirps the cricket makes in 1 minute (60 seconds)Subtract 40 from this number.Divide the result by 4Add 50.The result of this calculation is close to the temperature of the environment the cricket is in.As an example, if the cricket chirps 120 times in one minute then the temperature is about 50 + (120 - 40)/4 = 70o F.

Do crickets hear through their knees?
Crickets chirp at different rates depending on their species and the temperature of their environment. Most species chirp at higher rates the higher the temperature is (approx. 60 chirps a minute at 13ºC in one common species; each species has its own rate). The relationship between temperature and the rate of chirping is known as Dolbear's Law. In fact, according to this law, it is possible to calculate the temperature in Fahrenheit by adding 39 to the number of chirps produced in 15 seconds by the snowy tree cricket common in the United States. To hear the mating call of other crickets, a cricket has ears located on its knees, just below the joint of the front legs. http://www.answers.com/topic/cricket
