What Are Crickets?
Crickets are closely related to grasshoppers. Their name comes from the French word criquet,' which refers to the sound they make when courting. There are hundreds of different types of crickets, and most of them live approximately 90 days on average. They are generally nocturnal and tend to be more active at night. Where cockroaches are low and wide, crickets have a tall profile. They have medium-length antennae that arch above their heads and large back legs that they use to jump considerable distances for their size. Crickets are omnivorous and can survive on a wide variety of food sources.
