Crickets’ ears are located on the knees of their front legs.
Crickets can see different directions at the same time.
Crickets in the wild have a life span of less than a year.
Female crickets do not chirp.
V can tell the temparature by counting a cricket's chirps?
The higher the temperature the more chirps a minute a cricket generates. When the temperature is 52 Fahrenheit, crickets chirp about 60 times a minute.
You can predict the temperature by counting the number of chirps: follow the following equation:
The number of chirps in 15 seconds + 37 = the temperature in Fahrenheit.

Many animals eat poop on a regular basis. These include rabbits, rodents, gorillas, many insects such as dung beetles and flies, and yes, dogs. (Keep that in mind the next time a dog wants to lick you!) Herbivores such as rabbits and rodents eat their own poop because their diet of plants is hard to digest efficiently, and they have to make two passes at it to get everything out of the meal. This is equivalent to a cow chewing its cud, only cows are able to re-eat their food without having to poop it out first. Another reason why animals eat poop is that poop contains vitamins produced by their intestinal bacteria. The animal is unable to absorb the vitamins through the intestinal wall, but can get at them by eating the poop. Another reason that animals such as dogs and flies eat poop is that poop contains a certain amount of protein. Dogs are particularly fond of cat poop because cat poop is high in protein.

Re: The 'Did you know?' thread
There's more where that came from
The burning sensation sometimes associated with poop is generally caused by a recent meal of hot peppers or related spices. The oils associated with these foods remain intact and active all the way through one's gastrointestinal system. These oils can also generate hot farts.
