The Black Field Cricket
by Karen
In the day they have shelter under stones and logs or cracks in the ground. They eat grass and leaves. Crickets can jump and fly and often sing at night. It hears with its knees. Its enemy is the grasshopper. It uses chirping noises to talk. When it is cold they are very quiet. Field crickets also go into houses, especially in autumn and tree crickets lay eggs on the trees.
