Only the male crickets chirp. The sound is emitted by the stridulatory organ, a large vein running along the bottom of each wing, covered with "teeth" (serration) much like a comb. 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.
because chirping is a crickets way of smelling....
Male grasshoppers chirp in night in order to gain the attention of female grasshoppers for mating. It is also a dissuasion to repel other males.
it attrackts mates.
to get mates to approach them
Insects that make musical sounds audible to human ears are cicadas, grasshoppers, crickets and katydids. Beetles also produce audible sounds, but without as melodic a quality.
They dont fly they use them to jump farther and to make sounds to attrack mates
Some grasshoppers make sounds with their back legs but they do not have ears there.
Insects can make buzzing sounds by fluttering their wings, or sounds called Stridulation, made by rubbing body parts together (for example, grasshoppers rub their legs against their wings). Often we can't hear the sounds many insects make, unless they are recorded and amplified.
The following animals make sounds to attract a mate: foxes, frogs, toads, penguins and even elk. Some apes beat their chest and make sounds to attract a mate. +++ Some insects, as well, such as crickets and grasshoppers.
Grasshoppers don't make their own food.
Grasshoppers make sounds in one of two ways - stridulation or crepitation. Stridulation involves rubbing one body part, which acts as a rasp, against another, which acts as a scraper. Most grasshoppers stridulate to make their characteristic sounds. In grasshoppers, a row of pegs along the inside of the hind leg acts as a file, or rasp. The grasshopper rubs this leg surface against the thickened forewing, causing a vibration and thus a sound. A few grasshoppers, most notably some band-winged grasshoppers in the family Oedipodinae, use an entirely different method of sound production, called crepitation. These grasshoppers snap their hindwings rapidly as they fly, making a distinct crackling sound.
no, grasshoppers do make a sound. Did you know the grasshopper has hearing organs on its side. no, grasshoppers do make a sound. Did you know the grasshopper has hearing organs on its side. not at all! :)
Many characteristics make the grasshoppers sucessful, but their long wings help a lot.
They sing to make the others sing
Animals do make sounds but it's not all of the animals that make sounds.
