Crickets (Insect)

Crickets are omnivores, meaning they eat both plant matter (like fruits and vegetables) and other insects. They also feed on decaying organic matter, making them important composters in the ecosystem.

If you don't feed it it will still last quite a while, most stores don't feed them once they have them in stock-so it also depends on how recently they were brought in to the shop. The ones we've had (for my brothers leopard gecko) have lasted over 3 weeks before dying if they wern't fed- and the Gecko didn't catch them. It's still important to feed them though even if you've only brought them to feed to a gecko or some other animal as if they use up their food stores or are skinny the gecko won't get as many nutrients.

The frequency of a cricket's chirp is affected by temperature.

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.

The scientific name for a chinch bug is Blissus leucopterus.

The scientific name for cave crickets is Ceuthophilus spp.

Gryllus assimilis

There are about 900 species of crickets. Some are black. The common black cricket, also known as the Field cricket, is called Gryllus assimilis, but they can be black or brown! See Related Links below this box.

Water crickets will eat any other insects that are in the water with them. They have also been known to eat parts of other water crickets who are injured or dead.

No, only male crickets chirp to attract mates. They don't even actually chirp, they rub there wings together.

Crickets are a first order consumer. This means that they consume the organisms at the lowest trophic level which is the producers.

The problem will probably solve itself because the lizard will eat them. You should prevent small crickets to leave the cage by closing small openings in the cage, to prevent the crickets infesting your kitchen.

Only males sing and only females have an ovipositor.

Crickets live in warm, damp places

When the male cricket chirps, the female then selects which song she likes most and which male cricket he likes. The female can also tell how large the male is through the sound produced. When the female have selected, it will then go over the male and the male starts to transfer the sperms(not sure of the term) to the female.

yes it is

a lot

Crickets are usually able to jump very well and make loud chirping sounds. They have auditory organs on their legs, and many types are nocturnal.

yes. I've kept my locust with my crickets far a feww months and tey seem fine. if the locusts get to about 5cm or more, you may need to take them out.

Grasshoppers do eat grass! It's mainly what they eat along with grass and _______ i forget what else!! :) Are you trying to keep one? Cause i can teach you how to keep one and not let it die! If you want?! But back to question.... They do eat grass thanks for asking! :)
