Crickets

Crickets are best known for their songs, which are generally nocturnal and musical. The songs of their close relatives, the katydids, are raspy or buzzy, as are the songs of cicadas, which are the principal daytime insect singers in NATL.

Some of the species listed below are not verified as being in NATL but are presumed to be there based on fieldwork in similar habitats in west Gainesville.

The species on this page have been linked to the corresponding species pages of Singing Insects of North America. The songs are from the same source.
