I escorted a large green cricket out of the bathroom and into the rewilded back garden last week. Not sure if it was one of these though. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy4z0w1zn4po?at_format=image&at_bbc_team=editorial #SolarPunkSunda
What “crickets” means
Wiktionary · Wikipediacrickets
- nounAn insect in the order Orthoptera, especially family Gryllidae, that makes a chirping sound by rubbing its wing casings against combs on its hind legs.
Crickets are orthopteran insects which are related to bush crickets and, more distantly, to grasshoppers. In older literature, such as Imms, "crickets" were placed at the family level, but contemporary authorities including Otte now place them in the superfamily Grylloidea. The word has been used in combination to describe more distantly related taxa in the suborder Ensifera, such as king crickets and mole crickets.
