Field crickets are primarily nocturnal and are known for their distinctive chirping sound, produced by the males to attract females. They are herbivores, feeding on plants, seeds, and small insects.
Field crickets are commonly found in grassy fields, gardens, and meadows. They prefer areas with ample vegetation.
Field crickets are not harmful to humans or pets. However, they can cause damage to plants and crops if their populations become too large.
To prevent field cricket infestations, it's important to maintain well-trimmed lawns and gardens. Additionally, sealing cracks and gaps in buildings can help keep them from entering homes.
