Why did nature make crickets?

[SandyCat]

Why can't they be quiet like most other bugs

 

[The Lawgiver]

cicadas and the fucking weird big leaf looking fuckers are louder

 

[Wine em Dine em 69 em]

I don’t know but the easy answer is they are food for something else in the food chain.

 

[Open Window Maniac]

What other bugs could fill the role of emphasizing crowd silence? Grasshoppers? Not likely.

 

[Testacles Maximus]

Comedic timing.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

For gross weirdos to make flour out of and eat while living in a pod.

 

[Jason Wynn]

Those damn moon crickets are always blasting their crappy music when the other bugs are trying to sleep.

 

[DumbDude42]

because lizards need something to eat

 

[Retink]

Nature made them so we'd have a food source in a post pod society.

But I don't want to eat the bugs. I want to eat meat and own things

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Better to hear crickets at night than endless traffic.

 

[RollerGator]

Background noise

 

[BullDogsLipBrandClamjuice]

By "nature" i think you mean Warm Bright Sky Mommy.

And gor food

 

[Retink]

But I don't want to eat the bugs. I want to eat meat and own things

Don't we all, but sorry the only meat you'll be eating is bug that you will earn by doing things with other types of meat.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

They're cute.

 

[Some JERK]

So I can sleep.

 

[Mega Man II Intro - GB]

So I can sleep.

That's sheep, you idiot!

 

[Some JERK]

That's sheep, you idiot!

Right. Sorry.

So I can sheep.

 

[MichałDrzymała]

Because grasshoppers were already created.

 

[Shiawase]

In top form, crickets have musical stamina to rival even the most coked-up human rhythm sections. A few summers ago I had one that chirped at a similar tempo to the tambourine in Boogie Man. For weeks.
