Why do crickets chirp in the rain?

Answer 1

It's not that they chirp more. It's that you can hear their chirps better, because they're not muffled by the high cut turtleneck sweaters that crickets are known to wear during the cold months.

Answer 2

Crickets chirp by rubbing their wings together to attract mates, establish territory, or communicate. Rain can affect their ability to chirp due to the dampening of their wings or the disruption of their surroundings. Some crickets may continue chirping in the rain if they are sheltered or if the rain is light enough to not significantly impact their ability to produce sound.

Answer 3

the same reason they do it when it is not raining.
