Crickets are usually blackish-brown color and are about 1 inch long. Crickets also have unique wings. They are the length of the body and lay flat on their body. Their wings are also the cause of their "music," and they can also help them fly a short distance. A crickets ears are located on their front feet.
Crickets are omnivores. They eat plant material, fungi, seedlings, and decaying organisms. They usually live under rocks and logs in meadows, pastures, and along the roads. Most of the crickets are nocturnal so the predators won't find them as easily. Some of the crickets predators are spiders, lizards, birds, some wasps, ground beetles, small rodents, and frogs. Thats why the crickets hide under rocks and logs during daylight to get away from their predators.
A positive impact on the ecosystem about crickets is that they break down plant material, renewing soil minerals. They are also an important source of food for other animals. A negative is that crickets may injure seedlings and large numbers can be destructive and ruin the environment.
