What is the temperature for crickets?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Crickets prefer temperatures between 70-90°F (21-32°C). They may become less active or stressed if exposed to temperatures outside of this range.
