BUSH CRICKET long-horned grasshopper & how to tell the temperature of the air by the cricket song!
This cricket found its way into our house. I filmed it under a microscope and let it go. It was sooooo happy to escape! No kidding, you can tell the temperature of the air by the song of any cricket! We've tested it!
THIS IS a bush-cricket also known as "long-horned grasshopper". It's not a true grasshopper - grasshoppers have short and thick antennae, but these crickets' antennae are often longer than their body. Bush crickets are herb iv ors - eat leaves and flowers. They live in warm grasslands areas, in bushes and gardens.
Bush crickets are nocturnal. To find each other in the dark they make a special call - that cricket sound. They produce it by rubbing their legs on their wings. Many use mimicry to camouflage themselves as leaves and blades of grass so nobody bothers them in daytime. The most amazing thing about crickets is that the sounds they make depend on temperature, so by the number of chirps in a cricket 'song' you can tell the temperature of the air! To find the temperature you need to count the number of chirps of one cricket within 15 seconds, then add to it 37 to get the temperature in Fahrenheit!
