Crickets are known for their chirp (which only male crickets can do; the male wings have ridges that act like an instrument). On a hot summer night the sound of crickets can serve as a reminder of the unseen natural world that surrounds us.

Nothing says summer like the melodious chirping of crickets in the grass on a warm evening! Unlike notoriously loud and annoying insects such as cicadas, crickets play their song in a tone that is typically more tolerable or even enjoyable to the human ear. Crickets make their unique sound not with vocal cords, but rather by rubbing their wings together much like a stringed instrument being played with a bow.
