about

Humans have been falling asleep to the droning of insects since they became human. The repetitious mating songs of crickets, tree crickets, bush crickets, katydids and other singers naturally relaxes us (unless it’s house crickets inside your house). Crickets can also serve as an early warning system: the sudden stop of their calling may indicate the approach of danger. And, of course, they can tell us the temperature. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, you can calculate the temperature as follows:
To convert cricket chirps to °F, count the chirps for 14 seconds, add 40.
To convert cricket chirps to °C, count the chirps for 25 seconds, divide by 3 and add 4.
These formulas only apply to Snowy Tree Crickets in the eastern US. Snowy Tree Crickets in the western US call at a slightly faster rate.
