Crickets are a bit like grasshoppers, and they make their distinctive noise by “strigilating“. Hearing this raspy noise is meant to be lucky.
They have to eat between 10 and 30% of their bodyweight each day – that is like a 10 year old eating 9-25 loaves of bread! They can also can jump to to 20 times their own length.
Wild Challenge! How high can you jump? Why not test yourself against your friends?
