And some animals' common name may even make us mistakenly judge what kind of animal it is. For example, the "Cold Bird" we learned when we were young. Many people think that the Cold Bird is a bird, but in fact it is a rodent, to be precise, it is a type of squirrel , the scientific name is squirrel . It has a membrane connected between its limbs and its body, and can glide like a bird.

年巴 and crickets are also our common names for animals, but these two common names are often considered to be the same insect, but in fact, cricket is the common name of cricket , and cricket is the common name of katyx . They are both animals under the Orthoptera Sword-tail suborder, and are close relatives. The common feature is that the length of the tentacles is close to or even greater than the body length. Female has a long sword-like ovipositor . However, as members of different families of the same suborder, their differences are also very obvious. Let’s talk about the difference between crickets and cunts.

About cricket
cricket is the common name for crickets. It is the most common insect we have. I remember that when I was a child, I followed the adults to harvest corn in the cornfield. I could catch dozens of crickets by just catching them for a while. Moreover, the crickets in the cornfield are obviously much larger than those in other places. I used to think that they grew well with corn, but later I realized that there were too many types of crickets.
Crickets are the general term for all insects under cricket family . Currently, there are at least 900 more than 900 species around the world, while there are about 50 species in my country. All crickets have similar body colors, mainly black and brown.
Among so many crickets, there are three common types: Chinese cricket, Doy coffin head cricket and oil gourd . Among them, Chinese crickets are the most common ones we have. Their body length is usually about 2 cm, and their body color is mainly light black. It is the one that often appears in our yard in the middle of the night.
And the Doy coffin head cricket is the most unique one among crickets. They are mainly dark-brown, with an average length of about 1.7 cm. Their head is more interesting, with obvious forward bulges on the top of the head and arcuate edges, which look like the side of one end of an ancient coffin. They are more common in the fields, especially in farmland.
Finally, it is the oil gourd. The oil gourd is a general term for more than 50 types of crickets under the Cricket Family Oil Gourd. There are 7 types in my country. Their common characteristics are that the body looks a bit oily and shiny, and the body shape is larger than the above ones. The average body length is about 2.5 cm. In the corn field, especially when we pull the straw, the oil gourd is usually hidden under the straw. This guy's female has a big belly, full of seeds, and is fried and fragrant.
All crickets are typical solitary animals. They have a certain sense of territory and usually do not disturb each other. It is precisely because of this that crickets are a fighting insect, especially when two males meet, and a death war usually breaks out. People have also discovered this characteristic of crickets, which has created the ancient entertainment activity of "cricket fighting".
In order to avoid fighting, male crickets will frequently rub their wings at night to make a squeaking sound. This sound is used to warn other homosexuals not to get close. During the breeding period, their sound will attract female crickets. Although female crickets do not chirp, there is a "tone drum" under their front legs that can receive similar sounds, and the tone drum is more sensitive, so that they can judge the other party's health and strength by the sound size and sound quality of the sound.
About the grasshopper
grasshopper is a general term for many large katyds under katydsko . This is an insect that I am very familiar with. Because when I was a child, I would go to the farmland to catch grasshoppers for my grandfather every summer and autumn.
However, there are skills to catch grasshoppers. First of all, grasshoppers like to live in soybean fields and peanut fields, and on the leaves on the top of the plant. Secondly, they can only be happy when the sun is scorching, and then they can distinguish the position of the listening sound. The grasshoppers have very sharp hearing, with an auditory range of between 2,000 Hz and 100,000 Hz. Compared with us humans, they can hear ultrasound. Therefore, if you want to catch them, you should not be too loud. As long as it is lower than the sound of our rubbing paper (about 2,000 Hz), they will not be able to hear it.
Get closer slowly, then observe the direction of their heads and turn their backs to it, because although the vision of the cucumber is not very good (the vision of the katy is better), it can still be discovered by an adult when he approaches it. In this way, he slowly approaches it and pinchs its thigh or back from behind and grabs it. However, it is worth mentioning that the katy has big and sharp teeth, so don’t be bitten by the hand, and don’t hurt its wings, because this is its vocal system.
There are more types of katyds than crickets. There are more than 7,000 katyds around the world, and there are more than 600 in my country. The most common one is elegant katyds . Their body colors are mainly green and brown, and their voices are very crisp and large. They are distributed in various parts of my country. The grasshoppers we often call are actually elegant katyds.
Elegant katyopus usually appears in summer and will continue until the soybean leaves are yellow and there are still some singing (about September), making it one of the longest singing katyopus.
Summary
Grasshoppers and crickets both chirping, and their way of chirping is to rub their wings. The difference is that the body color of crickets is generally black, while the body color of crickets is mainly green. In terms of body shape, the largest cricket oil gourd is only about 2.5 cm long, but the body length of the cricket is usually more than 3 cm, and the body length of the elegant cucumber is about 5 cm on average.
In addition, crickets are cave-dwelling, but crickets usually take plants as their home, and crickets are usually plant-eating, while crickets are omnivorous, and they eat not only plants but also other insects.
