Crickets (Insect)

Ever seen a drunk cricket? No? Me neither. Seriously, though, they DO drink. Dew and raindrops.

Crickets are detrivores. These are animals that eat dead animal or plant matter. These are invertebrate like snails, grubs, crickets and mites.

spring through summer... there are some leagues that also play in the fall. The Major Leagues begin Spring Training in the middle of February and end at the end of March or very beginning of April. The regular season begins in early April and ends at the very end of September, sometimes one or two days into October. The playoffs are in October.

Katydids live everywhere. Some look like leafs such as the greater angle-winged katydid and others look like grasshoppers such as the common meadow katydid. Katydids eat leaves and grass, so look in low hanging trees or meadows or fields where the grass is kind of tall. Lightly drag your feet in the grass. If you are wanting to catch one, bring a jar with holes in the top, or some other container where it can breathe. Feed the katydid green grass. Don't give it too much, just several pieces. If the katydid eats all of it or the grass dies, just get some more. Hope that helped!

Yes - all insects go through metamorphosis. I'm not sure if crickets go through complete metamorphosis the way butterflies and most insects do. Their close relatives, grasshoppers and katydids, are some of the only insects that do not go through complete metamorphosis. Instead, they shed a few times until they reach their adult form. Either way, crickets do go through metamorphosis.

Orthoptera is the Latin name for the order that includes crickets, grasshoppers, and katydids. So I would venture to guess it would be orthopterophobia.

some crickets live in trees and bushes but some live on the ground

Crickets are omnivores and will almost eat anything. Even their own if food is not available. Although a meal worm may not be part of their natural diet, they can feed on other insects.

the advantage is that it will help the plants in thepollination process.

Yes a cricket can eat a bird if the bird is dead.

the mole cricket protects itself by burrowing in its home.

A leaf-mimic katydid eats the young leaves from different plants that include the avocado, mango, macadamia, bean, and coffee. The katydid is an herbivore insect that lives in forest of India, Borneo, and the Malay Peninsula.

A grasshopper has a hard exoskeleton. This exoskeleton cannot grow or stretch. So, as the grasshopper grows, it must shed its exoskeleton. This is called molting. When a grasshopper is ready to molt, it climbs onto a leaf or a branch. It may even hang upside down. Slowly, the grasshopper slides out of its old exoskeleton. Underneath, the grasshopper has a new, soft exoskeleton. The grasshopper puffs up with air. This makes its body bigger while the new exoskeleton hardens.

Yes.

One of the most common is the Horsehair Worm, which infects crickets, grasshoppers and cockroaches.

Several animals eat field crickets including toads and frogs. Other animals that feed on field crickets are birds and other insects. They are also consumed by turtles. Field crickets are of order Orthoptera.

yes you can eat crickets and grasshoppers especially dried and dipped in chocolate! YUM! (by the way this guy is gross crickets are edible, but they do not taste good yukk!)

The camel-backed cave cricket is a troglophile. It is sometimes known as a cricket spider, or spider cricket, and is often mistaken for a large spider. It eats mold and fungus. It lives in basements and in crawl spaces and can jump five feet or more. People don't like them because they will jump right in your face -- sometimes in an attempt to jump away from you! It looks nasty, but cannot harm you. It can let off a very bad smell if you kill it. They attract rats and mice (which like to eat them -- yumm), they may move into the house itself, particularly in hot weather, and they will eat fabric, so an infestation should be cleaned out. There are several poisons and traps you can use which will not harm pets or people if used properly.

Yes, you can test this hypothesis by keeping track of how much a cricket chirps while hiding under a log and when its not hiding under the log.

An insect that chirps and sounds like it is saying 'katy did.'

The most effective way that a cricket defends itself from other crickets is by making intimidating chirping sounds. They do this and the other males will stay away from them.

Yes, although it will have a disadvantage among the other animals and be less likely to survive
