Does anyone here know much about crickets?
Driving over Austin Summit then Bob Scott Summit a few minutes ago there were hoards of big black crickets all over the road! (maybe on the dirt, too, but I only saw them on the pavement).
Anyone ever see such a crescendo of crickets before?
Do they hatch out en masse like the cicadas famously did back east this spring?
I know I could look this up, but maybe more fun if someone already knows the explanation (without looking it up).
