Gryllus pennsylvanicus

The clear, high notes of the cricket's song can be heard from early spring to fall, day or night. In almost all species, it is the male that sings to attract a mate. When a female appears, the male dances around her, stroking her with his antennae. Every species has its own song, so each cricket can identify a member of its own species.
Look For : A flat-backed, black to reddish-brown body with long antennae. Two antenna-like organs (cerci) extend from the rear.
Length : 5/8-1".
Habitat : Meadows, weeds.
Range : Widespread.
