[21], Some species of cricket are polyandrous. This page was last edited on 10 September 2020, at 17:20. [1], The largest members of the family are the 5 cm (2 in)-long bull crickets (Brachytrupes) which excavate burrows a metre or more deep.
[5], Most male crickets make a loud chirping sound by stridulation (scraping two specially textured wings together). The largest members of the family are the bull crickets, Brachytrupes, which are up to 5 cm (2 in) long. 100 miles (160 km) away). Other wasps in the family Scelionidae are egg parasitoids, seeking out batches of eggs laid by crickets in plant tissues in which to insert their eggs.

[12], Some species, such as the ground crickets (Nemobiinae), are wingless; others have small fore wings and no hind wings (Copholandrevus), others lack hind wings and have shortened fore wings in females only, while others are macropterous, with the hind wings longer than the fore wings. Others are more predatory and include in their diet invertebrate eggs, larvae, pupae, moulting insects, scale insects, and aphids. Fertilization bias depends on the control of sperm transport to the sperm storage organs. [30] In Florida, the parasitic flies were only present in the autumn, and at that time of year, the males sang less but for longer periods. Most ensiferan families were also found to be monophyletic, and the superfamily Gryllacridoidea was found to include Stenopelmatidae, Anostostomatidae, Gryllacrididae and Lezina. Lisa Gail Ryan, Berthold Laufer, Lafcadio Hearn (1996). The tibiae (fourth segments) of the hind legs are armed with a number of moveable spurs, the arrangement of which is characteristic of each species. The central part of the tegmen contains the "harp", an area of thick, sclerotinized membrane which resonates and amplifies the volume of sound, as does the pocket of air between the tegmina and the body wall. Most species are nocturnal and spend the day hidden in cracks, under bark, inside curling leaves, under stones or fallen logs, in leaf litter, or in the cracks in the ground that develop in dry weather. [45] John Keats's 1819 poem Ode to Autumn includes the lines "Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft / The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft".

In many species, the wings are not adapted for flight.
46. It is smooth and has neither dorsal nor lateral keels (ridges). [24] Controlled-breeding experiments with the cricket Gryllus firmus demonstrated inbreeding depression, as nymphal weight and early fecundity declined substantially over the generations'[25] this was caused as expected by an increased frequency of homozygous combinations of deleterious recessive alleles. [51], In the southern part of Asia including Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, crickets commonly are eaten as a snack, prepared by deep frying soaked and cleaned insects.
