Crickets belong to the family Gryllidae (Orthoptera) and are common in houses, fields, pasture, meadows, and some inhabit trees and shrubs. Most of them feed on plants and grains but some occasionally feed on other insects. Several species of crickets overwinter as eggs, laid generally in the moist ground or vegetation, while others in tropical climates pass the winter either as nymphs of late instars, or as adults. They are among the most familiar insects. In Italy and North Africa crickets, which are best known for the musical sounds made by the male, are kept in cages tor the sake of their notes.
