What is the difference between crickets and cicadas?

Answer

A grasshopper is active in the day and a cricket is active in the night.

Crickets and grasshoppers look similar, but there are differences. A big difference is that they belong to different families.

The grasshopper is an insect of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera.

Crickets, family Gryllidae, are insects somewhat related to grasshoppers and more closely related to katydids or bush crickets (family Tettigoniidae). They tend to be nocturnal and are often confused with grasshoppers because they have a similar body structure including jumping hind legs. The bugs of Caelifera usually have rather short antennae while Ensiferan Orthopterans have longer ones. This is a useful way to differentiate between the two suborders even if some Ensiferans like mole crickets have short, grasshopper- like antennae. Kingdom: Animalia
