Do crickets have wings?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, some crickets can fly, but those that can do so only very rarely.

Additional InformationThe wings of male crickets function more in sound production than flight. Although the close relatives of crickets--grasshoppers and katydids--often fly as adults, it is unusual for adult crickets, even the winged species, to fly. They can and will fly on occasion, but it's rare and only for short distances of a few feet. They get around mostly by crawling or jumping.

The field cricket cannot fly. I studied crickets for years and the wings on males are used for attracting females and the wings on females have no purpose. Tree crickets, however, can fly.

Can butterfly's and crickets live together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Butterflies do not provide parental care for their offspring, and in most cases, by the time the caterpillars hatch from the eggs, the adult butterfly that laid the eggs is either dead or has moved on. The whole reason complete metamorphosis (changing from a caterpillar to a butterfly) exists is so the adults and young of the species do NOT have to occupy the same niche and compete with one another. That doesn't mean you'll never see a caterpillar and butterfly in the same place at the same time, but if you do see this, it's purely coincidence that they happened to be there. They don't care about each other; the caterpillar just crawls along looking for food while the butterfly searches for places to lay eggs or find a mate.
