Observations | Observing house crickets behind the AA Branch at Tougaloo College reveals some interesting behaviors. They are most active during the warmer parts of the day, particularly in the early evening, and their rhythmic chirping suggests mating calls. These crickets prefer areas with dense vegetation, like tall grass and shrubs, providing shelter from predators. They often hide under leaves or in crevices and come out to feed on plant material. Overall, their behaviors demonstrate effective strategies for mating, feeding, and evading threats in their natural habitat. |
