Of

the
crickets,
who
during
the

of
summer
and
in
the
autumn
fill
the
air
with a
continuous
concert.
They
are
well
known
on
account
of their
abundance,
their
wide
distribu-
tion,
their
characteristic
chirping
song
and
the
habit
many
of
them
have
for
seeking
shelter
in
human
habi-
tations.
Crickets
belong,
in
the
entomological
system,
to
the
order
Orthoptera
(from
the
Greek
orthoa,
"straight,"
and
pteron,
"a
wing";
referring
to
the
longitudinal

of
