Gryllid

/ˈɡrɪlɪd/ noun

Definition

Any member of the family Gryllidae, which includes all the true crickets that produce distinctive chirping sounds.

Etymology

From the scientific Latin family name 'Gryllidae,' derived from 'gryllus' (Greek onomatopoeia for cricket chirping) with the -id suffix indicating membership in that family.

Kelly Says

Every cricket you hear singing at night belongs to this family—their songs are actually a language where males compete for mates by literally trying to out-sing each other.
