Field cricket — size comparison — facts and sources

The field cricket inhabits dry sunny low vegetation in Europe, audible in warm meadows and sunny slopes. Male brown wings produce sound rather than efficient flight.

It eats grasses, herbs and small insects, runs well and can jump. Males frequently compete.

Nymphs usually near maturity overwinter, then grow and breed after resuming activity.
