Two common species which are most likely to become household nuisance pests are the house cricket and the field cricket. The house cricket was introduced from Europe and is about 3/4" in length, light brown to yellowish in color with three darker bands behind the head. It completes its entire life cycle indoors and is often active year round. Field crickets have dark brown or black, 1" long, robust bodies. They normally reside outdoors, but will often invade homes in the fall when their natural food supply is depleted. Fortunately, field crickets cannot adapt to indoor conditions and will generally die off before mid-winter. Outdoors, Read More Go to Site Field Cricket Votes:0 Field Cricket DESCRIPTION: This common cricket is about 1 ? inches long, with short wings and black. The female has a pointed tail. It is the most common cricket in the fall. The adults are active and chirping during early evening. BIOLOGY: ( Gryllus spp. ) The eggs hatch in spring and the nymphs develop slowly during the summer. They feed on plant material in the lawn or fields around houses. The adults appear in the fall and are often found outside of buildings on cold days. They may come inside through doors or windows. SOLUTION: Limit the mulch or protective vegetation on the sunny side of house to keep crickets from coming there. Spray the soil around the perimeter of the house with a garden insecticide to discourage crickets.

Sometimes 2" long or more, it's one of the largest insects found in this area. Despite their appearance, they are considered harmless. With their large jaws they can bite, but rarely do - and they aren't poisonous. Jerusalem crickets are nocturnal, and live mostly underground where they feed on roots or other insects. They don't eat enough to cause damage in gardens, and are an important part of the food chain for owls and hawks. If one happens to wander close to your house, catching and releasing them is the best way to control them.

A male cricket of course! Crickets belong to the Class Insecta and the Order Orthoptera. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis which means that the young (called nymphs or instars) look similar to adults, usually just smaller and do not have wings. Each time they molt, they develop a little more so that they look more like an adult. Only the male calls with its familiar chirp. The chirp is made by lifting the wing covers to 45 degrees and rubbing the front area of one wing cover (scraper) against the rough area on the other wing (file). Scientists call this method of making sound (rubbing one body part against another) stridulation . You can make a similar sound by r Read More Go to Site cricket, in zoology.

Their song can reach 150 decibels and can be heard over 500m away. Crickets are any of the approximately 2,400 species of leaping insects of the family Gryllidae (order Orthoptera), known for the musical chirping of the male. The most common cricket songs are the calling song, which attracts the female; the courtship, or mating, song, which induces the female to copulate; and the fighting chirp, which repels other males. Crickets vary in length from 3 to 50 mm (0.12 to 2 inches). There is a direct relationship between the rate of cricket chirps and temperature; the rate tends to increase with increasing temperature.

The circi ( sensory appendages located at the posterior end of insects) are hairy and longer than the head and prothorax combined. The field cricket's wings do not protrude past their circi. Females have elongated, cylindrical, ovipositors, which are used to lay eggs singularly or in rows in plant tissue. Males produce rapid chirping or trilling sounds with a stridulating organ, similar to that of katydids, which is located at the base of the forewings.

The burrowing crickets, with muscular forelegs and shovels for feet, waste little time in killing turf on greens, tees, fairways and roughs. Cricket-infested ground appears cultivated. Soil is loosened and exposed grass is left to die. The tunneling insects, sometimes covering 10 to 20 feet in a night, can drag uprooted grass into their burrows for nesting material.

In recent years, because of the warm winters, their range has extended as far north as the coastal areas of North Carolina and New Jersey. Their damage appears as brown spongy areas within normal green grass. These spots are very soft to walk on. Upon inspection you will notice the grass roots have been eaten. They are especially fond of bermuda, St. Augustine and centipede grass. If left untreated they can completely destroy a city yard in a matter of weeks. Adult mole crickets are plump, winged and 1 to 1.25 inches long. They are seldom seen, because, like moles, they stay underground most of the time eating the roots of your grass.
