The adult crickets die and females lay eggs in the soil for next spring
A cricket usually lives less than one year, though as , if they can find a warm house, or better, someone to make them a home and provide water and food, their life span can be lengthened. As a rule though, as winter approaches, the female will look for the perfect spot to lay her eggs. This is generally on the ground. When spring arrives, the new cricket, or nymph, hatches looking very muck like an adult cricket, only minus his or her wings. Through several molts, casting off their skin, they grow larger, and develop their wings. Below 32 Degrees they will die so most do not make it through the winter.

Who came up with the sport cricket?
The sport of cricket is thought to have originated from England in the early 17th Century. The exact founder of cricket is unknown, and likely doesn't exist. Cricket was most likely a combination of ideas from a range of people. The game was originally played between school children, and the idea of adult men (and later women) playing the game was unheard of at first, however the game began to gain increasing popularity amongst the older generation (who where probably themselves the people who came up with the idea). It was this increasing popularity that led to the the first cricket matches, and as a result the establishment of the first cricket domestic league, played between counties.
The game then spread to other countries through colonisation or exploration, and today the game has strong roots in countries like England, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, India, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Netherlands, Canada, Afghanistan, Kenya, Scotland and many other countries are starting to take an interest in the game.
What color is a cricket's blood?
In general insect blood is colorless, and it is because they do not have hemoglobin to carry oxygen. However, there is an exception. Larvae of a fly that live in water with very low oxygen levels do have hemoglobin and their blood is red. The hemoglobin does the same thing for them as it does for us. And, the hemoglobin molecule they use is distantly related to ours. Insects generally deliver oxygen (almost) directly to their cells using a system of tubes that open to the outside as holes called spiracles. Plants do something vaguely similar. Their holes are called stomata.
Do crickets have Internal skeleton?
No. Crickets, like many other insects, have exoskeletons made of chitin. Bones, such as those found among many animals, such as humans and other mammals and reptiles, are called an endoskeleton.
What insects make loud sounds at night?

What type of habitat do crickets prefer?
It depends really on the breed of the cricket, like here in New Zealand they prefer heavily wooded areas that are quite damp; but in tropical areas they prefer places with a fair amount of ventilation that are quite dry but with still enough bush to hide in. Hope this helped! :)
Why bug doesn't chirp in the evening?
In the evening, most bugs are less active than during the day. This is because their food sources, such as nectar, are not available and they have limited energy reserves. Additionally, the air temperature can get too cold for many bugs to survive. Some bugs, such as crickets, will chirp in the evening, but most bugs are not active enough to chirp.
The following are the main reasons why most bugs don't chirp in the evening:
Therefore, although some bugs might still be active in the evening, most of them won't chirp due to the lack of food and energy sources as well as the colder air temperature.
