This very short video gives excellent real life, close up footage of a pair of Field Crickets mating. The field cricket is an impressive insect with a black body and wings that resemble intricate wrought iron work. The wing color is dark black/brown,... with a yellow base and black raised veins. A modified area of veins on the male's wings, known as the 'harp', enables it to produce the 'song' or stridulation that he uses to attract a female. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:23)

This short video gives excellent real life, close up footage of a Mole Cricket in burrow. This is our largest native orthopteran and one of our most impressive and unusual looking insects. The body is brown in color and covered with fine velvety hair...s, and the forelegs are greatly modified for digging. Only the adult stages are winged, and flight is said to be clumsy, directionless and only performed on rare occasions at night. Males can be distinguished from the females by the open vein area in the forewing known as the 'harp', females lack the external ovipositor of other crickets. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:46)
