The ears of crickets and their close relatives are located on the front legs, just below the knee.
Crickets use the hair on their legs to hear low-frequency sounds. They use the hair to sense the air motions, which enables them to detect the distant low sounds.
The wart-biter cricket got its name from an old practice in which people used it to bite off warts.
At the inaugural cricket-spitting contest in Marshfield, Wisconsin, in 2009, Brian Johnsrud spat a dead cricket 22ft 8in.
At the end of the Buddy Holly song, "I'm Gonna Love You Too," there's a live cricket chirp that can be heard on the recording. Holly and the group decided to leave it in the song as it was on beat, and his band has only months earlier decided to call themselves The Crickets.
There is relationship between the air temperature and the rate at which crickets chirp. It was formulated by Amos Dolbear and published in 1897 in an article called "The Cricket as a Thermometer". To get a rough estimate of the temperature in degrees fahrenheit, count the number of chirps in 14 seconds and then add 40.
Crickets can chew through fiberglass window screens.

Most cricket species chirp at higher rates the higher the temperature is (about 62 chirps a minute at 13 °C (55 °F) in one common species; each species has its own rate). The relationship between temperature and the rate of chirping is known as Dolbear's law.
Only male crickets chirp.
