Where would you probably NOT find a cricket?
A mature House Cricket is roughly 2 centimeters in length. The female has an ovipositor, a long extension attached to the end of the abdomen and is used for depositing eggs in the soil.House Crickets have very prominent legs and two pair of wings .However, only the back pair is used for flying. There are a variety of habitats where House Crickets can be found like woodlands, suburbs, urban areas, buildings, ducts, siding and restaurants. Although many crickets die off in the colder months, those that manage to find their way indoors can stay alive year round. Crickets become sexually mature between eight and twelve weeks after birth. After the male mates with the female, the female lays between 50 and 100 eggs in a soft surface and these eggs hatch in two weeks. Interestingly enough, the rate at which a cricket chirps is determined by the temperature outside. A Cricket chirps faster when it is warmer. As far as diet is concerned, House Crickets will eat just about anything including soft plant matter, insects, young crickets, and decomposing matter.
