The shiny black or dark brown cricket is up to 30 mm long. A Cricket has a large head, long antennae and a long spear-shaped ovipositor. It is a good jumper. It has biting muth parts. The adult males are able to make a chirping sound by rubbing the wings together or by rubbing the wings on their legs. Crickets are normally found outdoors but if numbers become large they may invade buildings. Crickets undergo gradual metamorphosis. They overwinter as eggs that have been laid in moist soil of roadside ditches, meadows, fields and along fences and in dry soils in cracks that tend to hold a bit of moisture in September. Hatching begins in May. Eight or nine moults are required to rach maturity over a period of about 90 day. The nymphs are very similar in appearance to adults and feed on vegetative material. When weeds begin to harden and die and rain is sparse, crickets often leave their ditches and fields and move in masses. This is when they come into homes and buildings. Crickets eat a variety of materials and are cannibalistic. After egg laying, the adults die when freezing weather starts.
