House cricket — size comparison — facts and sources

The house cricket inhabits warm places, often buildings. It eats varied organic food and uses long antennae to explore.

Males attract females through short repeated sounds made by rubbing wings. Eggs enter damp substrate. Young resemble small wingless adults and moult successively. Development strongly depends on temperature; no specialised overwintering stage exists.
