field cricket

Grassland singing bug

A field cricket is a common dark-brown or black cricket found in meadows, fields, and lawns throughout temperate regions.

Males produce the characteristic chirping sound of summer evenings by rubbing their wings together to attract mates.

Distinguished from house crickets, which tend to live indoors.
