How many times does a cricket chirp in fifteen seconds?
The chirp rate is not that fast, no more than about 3 per second in hot weather.
It is usually measured in chirps per minute, and because it varies with the cricket's metabolism, it is considered a way to determine the approximate outdoor temperature. The relationship is called Dolbear's Law, for Amos Dolbear, who calculated it using the snowy tree cricket in 1897. If used for field crickets, the calculation may be off by plus or minus 2 degrees depending on the age of the cricket.
- If you count the number of chirps in 15 seconds and add 40, you have a Fahrenheit temperature.
(a variation on this is chirps in 15 seconds, and add 37)
- If you count the number of chirps in 8 seconds and add 5, you have a Celsius temperature.
e.g. at 68F/20C, the count should be about 112 chirps per minute.

I've had crickets in the basket of the pool that had been there for hours. Though they appear dead, I lay them out in the shade (out of the hot sun) and check them hourly. Little by little, they come back to life. It starts out with the antennae flinching a little. Then the legs start to work a little. Before long (a few hours at least) I can turn them loose in the garden. Blows my mind every time!
Common toads and frogs generally have the same aspects as each other, and, therefore, both hide in the same places. These places include among the grass, and other sorts of vegetation. After mating, they dig shallow burrows of which they live in. They hibernate from October through to March, so it is not a good idea to look/wake them than. As they grow older, they grow smarter and hide in logs and damp wood, where insects are likely to be found. Also, whilst mating they are likely to be found in lakes and ponds, etc. However, when searching for frogs, watch your step, because they also interfere paths, pavements and dirt.
Leaf-mimic Katydids live mainly in large bushes and trees with medium-sized leaves.There are many species within the family Tettigoniidae, not all of them very closely related to each other, so don't think that the "leaf-mimic katydid is just one kind of animal.
Every continent apart from Antarctica has some species of leaf-mimic Katydids where it is warm enough and leafy enough. If you look carefully enough you find them throughout Africa and Australia, and in the warmer and more temperate parts of the Americas, Asia and Europe, and also on many islands.
