If you add 37 to the number of chirps a cricket makes in 15 seconds, you will have an approximation for the temperature outside.
Yes they do.Timothy McGowen said:Do crickets come in metric and imperial?
No, that is (5/9 * chirps)-32 chirps = Celcius value.PaulT said:Yes they do.
Metric crickets are 15mm to 25mm in length, while imperial crickets range from 0.59" to 0.98" in length.
The metric crickets are found further north in Canada where the cold means they chirp a little more than half as frequently resulting in a Celsius value.
