Jill, your tongue must be too far inside your cheek! "Crickets" are the
nocturnal insects - who at 'the outset of evening darkness' begin chatter
incessantly with that very sound, "cricket, cricket, cricket.' Only in North
America?? I think the sound relates to the way they 'sport' with each other.
What are 'crickets' called in Australia? I cannot believe some of them way
back did not migrate there on some sailor's duffle bag, or such.
Is cricket a sport or something in your country?
