The '''cricket''' is an [[Insecta|insect]] related to the [[grasshopper]] and [[katydid]] (order [[Orthoptera]]). They're known for the loud chirping noises they make by rubbing their corrugated wing casings against combs on their hind legs. |

The true crickets constitute a family ([[Gryllidae]]) which contains the common or field crickets and in addition several other forms more or less different in appearance. Field crickets are [[brown]] or [[black]] species, some of which enter houses. Tree crickets are usually [[green]] with broad, transparent wings, and frequent [[tree]]s and [[bush]]es. Mole crickets are thick-bodied brown insects with forelimbs that are highly developed for burrowing. |

In addition to these, several other insects belonging to the katydids are also called crickets; the cave or camel crickets, the sand cricket, and the Mormon cricket. |
