Only male crickets chirp. It's actually called 'stirdulation'. This happens when it rubs the bottom part of one of its wings on the top part of the other wing. There are 3 reasons why crickets chirp; 1) to attract females; 2) to impress the female he has already attracted; 3) to warn other males to stay away. Also, you can tell the temperature outside by listening to how fast they chirp; the hotter it is, the faster they chirp and the colder it is, the slower. Just count the number of chirps you hear in 13 seconds and add 40 and that's the temperature.
They are important because they are found at the bottom of the food chain, thus they are needed by other animals in order to survive. Crickets are a common bug found in many different regions, making them a common meal for different critters, a few of which are birds, snakes, frogs, lizards, tortoises, salamanders, and Spiders.

Only the male crickets chirp. A large vein running along the bottom of each wing has "teeth," much like a comb does. The chirping sound is created by running the top of one wing along the teeth at the bottom of the other wing. As he does this, the cricket also holds the wings up and open, so that the wing membranes can act as acoustical sails. It is a popular myth that the cricket chirps by rubbing its legs together.
The frequency of a cricket's chirp is affected by temperature.
Crickets could eat reeds and algae but, since crickets are not well adapted to aquatic life they typically would not. There are examples of non-aquatic algae (such as lichens) that crickets could eat without getting their feet wet if you care to argue.

No, only male crickets chirp to attract mates. They don't even actually chirp, they rub there wings together.
Well yeah. Male crickets chirp by rubbing their wings together; as for females I'm not quite sure, but they CAN chirp. I have had many many crickets; they all chirped. Im thinking I didn't ALWAYS get males.... ?
