Chirping CRICKETS

'Soon the nymph gets too big for its hard outer covering. It wriggles out of its skin and grows a new outsid cover. This is called molting.
The mymphs molt again and again. Some nymphs molt as many as twelve times, dependong on tje amount of food available and the weather conditions. After the last molt they are adult crickets.
Most adult crickets have two pairs of wings - front wings and back wings. Usually, the wings lie flat over each other. The back wings are bigger than the front ones. Some crikets use these for flying. The front wings in males are used to chip.'

A cricket hears with its knees! You have ears on yours, but a cricket doesn't. Behind the knee of each of a cricket's front legs is a tiny hole with a tissu-thin cover. This is the cricket's ear. I was not interested in insects, so I didn't know about crikets. I want to find them and their eggs! Maybe I would be surprise!!!!
