This is a bit confusing. I do not know exactly what you mean by "What is the tempature (temperature) for crickets?"
My guess is you meant, "How does temperature play into the lives of crickets?"
Crickets communicate through stridulation. This is the rubbing of wings together to "chirp". You can hear this normally outside in the summer. While it is not known why, crickets chirp faster with higher temperature, it steadily represents the temperature outside.
One can infer that crickets then do not chirp at temperatures greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit or below 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Therefore, using this knowledge, scientists have concluded that you can discover the current temperature by counting the number of chirps in 15 seconds and then adding 40.
Example: if there are 23 chirps in 15 seconds the temperature is approximately 63 degrees Fahrenheit.
I hope that this helps.

How do crickets regulate their body temperature?
Crickets live in environments where they can regulate their body temperature. They are ectotherms, which means they don't have physiological mechanisms to maintain their body temperature.
Which insect accuratel tells the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?
crickets
Can crickets tell the temperature by listening to their chirp?
yes even outside
What insect has been known to accurately indicate the air temperature?
Crickets have been known to accurately indicate the temperature. By counting the number of chirps a cricket makes in 15 seconds and then adding 37 to that number you can gain a good estimate of the temperature in Fahrenheit.
What temperature do crickets stop chirping?
Crickets feel vibrations of movement and stop chirping in response to danger. Male crickets make the noise with their forewings to attract a mate and will continue to chirp when they feel the danger is gone.
What can be said about the effect of temperature on the cellular respiration of crickets?
Yes. Cellular respiration produces ATP, which crickets need so survive, since it is the main way energy is stored in living things. If crickets could not carry out cellular respiration, they would not be alive.
Can crickets tell temperature?
Yes. In fact, the frequency of chirps corresponds to the temperature. People outside at night listening to crickets chirp can determine the temperature outside with a math problem. Count the number of chirps a cricket makes in 15 seconds and record this number or remember it. Add 37 to the number you wrote down. You now have a good estimate of the temperature outside.This equation for cricket chirping is now known as Dolbear's Law.N.B.:-- This formula produces the temperature in Fahrenheit.-- It's only good down to around 55 degrees. Below that temperature,most crickets are hiding in shelter, and those that are still out are notsinging love songs.-- The strict answer to the original question is:No. A cricket can never tell you the temperature. But youcan estimatethe temperature by observing the effect it has on the crickets' behavior.
What factors determines the chirping rate in crickets air temperatures atmospheric pressure humidity number of crickets near by wind speed none of the factores above?
The correct answer is Air Temperature.
What could crickets tell us about temperature?
When its cold, they stay in their homes, when it's warm or hot, they come out.
How do crickets camouflage themselves?
this is how they respond. if it is cold outside, the crickets chirp slower. if the crickets chirp faster, it is warm. if you count how many chirps there are in 15 seconds, and multiply it by 4 you will get the temperature in Fahrenheit.
Do crickets have crickets or does katydids have crickets?
crickets have crickets and katydids have katydids
Why are tree crickets called poor man's thermometer?
=== === Tree crickets are called the poor man's thermometer because temperature directly affects their rate of activity. Count the number of chirps a cricket makes
