Southeastern Field Cricket
Gryllus rubens
Adults occupy grassy fields, lawns, roadside vegetation, and other open, moist ground cover in the southeastern United States. They forage at night on plant matter, seeds, fungi, and scavenged animal material, using strong chewing mouthparts. Males produce their familiar chirps by rubbing specialized forewings together to attract mates and defend calling sites.
