Italian Tree Cricket
A delicate pale green cricket with translucent wings. Males sing a melodious continuous trill on warm evenings. The rate of chirping is directly related to temperature.

You can estimate the temperature by counting its chirps: count chirps in 15 seconds and add 40 for degrees Fahrenheit.
Raspy Cricket
A nocturnal wingless cricket that builds silk-lined shelters from folded leaves.
Did You Know?
It produces silk from its mouthparts, one of few non-larval insects to do so.
