(Acheta domesticus)
Biology:
The house cricket, also known as the house cricket, is a long-fingered cricket that belongs to the family Gryllidae. The animals grow up to 20 mm long with wings. They have long antennae and their body color is yellowish with dark brown markings. The animals are very heat-loving and are therefore often found in kitchens, boiler rooms, bakeries, breweries, etc. Outdoors, they are mainly found on garbage dumps. Crickets live hidden during the day and forage at night. They are omnivorous, but prefer plant food. They can also make short jumps when moving quickly. A characteristic feature is the chirping made by the males to attract females in the dark. The cricket is a very popular food insect in terraristics
Damage:
The lifestyle and diet of house crickets are very similar to that of cockroaches. The damage they cause is therefore also comparable. They contaminate food and can carry germs. The constant chirping of the males can be very annoying.
