Fall Field Cricket

Fall Field Cricket

Gryllus pennsylvanicus

A species of Field crickets, Also known as Northern fall field cricket

The chirping sounds the male fall Field Cricket makes are a mating call. It is an important ritual, as only one generation of crickets is born each year. It got the name fall field cricket because of two of its most identifying features — that it comes out in the fall and lives primarily in fields. The fall Field Cricket is the food for creatures from wasps to hawks.

Habitat Preferences of Fall Field Cricket Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of fall Field Cricket are laid in soil, which serves as a protective and nurturing environment until they hatch. Nymphs, resembling miniature adults, typically emerge during spring and inhabit low vegetation and ground litter, where they find ample food and shelter. As they progress through successive molts, they remain in similar habitats with dense plant cover to avoid predators and sustain their herbivorous diet. Fully mature adults favor grassy fields or yards for foraging, mating, and singing to attract mates, especially at night. To locate these stages, search beneath soil surface for eggs, inspect low vegetation for nymphs, and listen for the characteristic chirping of adults in grassy areas after dusk.

Nymph Fall Field Cricket nymphs are smaller and often found near the ground in dense grass or vegetation. Look for them by gently parting grass blades or inspecting the undersides of leaves in grassy areas.
Adult Fall Field Cricket can be found by listening for their distinctive chirping at night and following the sound. They are also attracted to light sources, so placing a lamp may draw them out into open areas.
