Something about Ants and Crickets 
? CRICKETS 
? Crickets (also known as "true crickets"), of the family Gryllidae, 
are insects related to bush crickets, and, more distantly, 
to grasshoppers. 
? Crickets are mainly nocturnal, and are best known for the loud, 
persistent, chirping song of males trying to attract females, although 
some species are mute.
