through what part of their body do crickets hear
Cricket (insect) More than 900 species of crickets are described; the Gryllidae are distributed all around the world except at latitudes 55Â° or higher, with the greatest diversity being in the tropics. They occur in varied habitats from grassland, bushes, and forests to marshes, beaches, and caves. Crickets are mainly nocturnal, and are best known for the loud, persistent, chirping song of males trying to attract females, although some species are mute. The singing species have good hearing, via the tympana (eardrums) on the tibiae of the front legs.
