The tree cricket Oecanthus fultoni. Dolbear's law states the relationship between the air temperature and the rate at which crickets chirp. [1] [2] It was formulated by physicist Amos Dolbear and published in 1897 in an article called "The Cricket as a Thermometer". [3]
The burrow acts as a resonator, amplifying the sound. Most male crickets make a loud chirping sound by stridulation (scraping two specially textured body parts together). The stridulatory organ is located on the tegmen, or fore wing, which is leathery in texture. A large vein runs along the centre of each tegmen, with comb-like serrations on ...

The chirp (or trill) of a tree cricket is long and continuous and can sometimes be mistaken for the call of a cicada or certain species of frogs. While male tree crickets have the ability to call, females lack the ability. [5] This call is then received by other tree crickets in the area through a system called sender-receiver matching.
A few weeks ago I was looking for the sound of crickets, and was surprised to find no freely licensed cricket sounds on enwiki or on commons. I found some on the internet, but they did not have compatible licenses. Frustration! Then a couple nights ago I heard a cricket in my garage, so like a good Wikipedian I recorded and uploaded it.
Oecanthus fultoni, also known as the snowy tree cricket, [1] or thermometer cricket, [1] is a species of tree cricket from North America. [2] It feeds on leaves but also damages fruit. The chirp of this species is often dubbed onto sound tracks of films and television shows to depict a quiet summer's night.
Oecanthus capensis, the Cape thermometer cricket, is a species of tree cricket (Subfamily Oecanthinae). [2] It has been found that the rate at which these crickets chirp follows Dolbear's law . [ 3 ]
