Crickets Attack!!!

The last week or so has been an explosion of crickets... I have never seen so many of them... although it no way compares to the grasshopper explosion that occurs sometimes in the fall (see post).
  Crickets, family Gryllidae, are insects somewhat related to grasshoppers, and more closely related to katydids or bush crickets. They have somewhat flattened bodies and long antennae. There are about 900 species of crickets.
