Crickets
Crickets are insects that feed on decaying plant matter, fungi and other natural decaying substances. There are several species in the valley but their behavior is more or less the same.
They do not bite and don't pose a health threat to humans but can be a nuisance when their populations are great, when they are entering our structures or the noise of chirping. Male crickets make this chirping sound by rubbing their wings together to attract females. They are most active after dusk and are usually found hiding in shaded or moist areas during the day. The presence of crickets may also be followed by the presence of predators that feed on them like spiders and scorpions.
