Crickets aren’t known to be harmful or dangerous. However, once inside your house, field and house crickets may feed on fabric (cotton, silk, wool, fur and linen).
While they may be mistaken for Grasshoppers, Field Crickets still have their numbers accounted for. They especially love the warm, dry climate in the Las Vegas Desert and as soon as the scorching summer begins to ease, the ideal temperature of the fall is the perfect time for Cricket mating season, which brings about generous swarms and swelling choruses.

Yes, Female crickets lay about 100 eggs in their lifetime and in a location that is hidden from other male crickets who want to destroy them.
Their companions though, will defend their mates, even risking their own lives to protect a female carrying his eggs.
Other than the desire for your clothes, the crickets are considered omnivores and eating insects, fungi, as well as plant materials.
It is the male crickets who sing and create the sounds with their wings. Each wing has a tiny rasp-like area at the tip. The cricket scrapes the top of one wing over the bottom of the other to make that characteristic chirping sound.
