That chirping in the evening is not a bird. It is a whole insect orchestra, and each musician makes music in its own strange way.
The Big Idea
Crickets make sound by rubbing their wings together, and the music gets faster when the air is warmer.
Tap a lesson to open it.
A cricket has a ridged section on one wing and a scraper on the other. Rubbing them together makes that bright chirp. Only males sing, and they are calling to females.
Fun FactCrickets chirp faster when it is warm, so you can use chirps to guess the temperature.
Sort each critter. There is a reason behind every answer, even for the ones we would rather not meet.
