Only male crickets sing. You can tell a female cricket from a male because
the female has a long spike on its tail end. This is used to lay eggs.
Find and circle the female crickets on this page.
The male cricket has bumpy veins on
his front wings. He rubs his wings
together to “sing.”

The warmer the weather, the faster crickets chirp. They
usually don’t chirp if the temperature is above 100° F
(38° C) or below 55° F (13° C). The snowy tree cricket
is called the “thermometer cricket” because if you add 40
to the number of chirps it makes in fifteen seconds, you
get the actual temperature in degrees Fahrenheit!
