Summary
Key Points: 
  • Why don’t female crickets chirp?
  • Among crickets, males are the only ones that make noise because females don’t have sound-producing structures on their wings.
  • But the female can hear very well and will come to a male who is signaling to her from some distance away.
  • You can learn to recognize them with a little practice, even if you never find the actual crickets.
