Detailed explanation-1: -Because crickets are largely nocturnal, any cricket songs are typically heard during the evening or at night. Although it is possible for crickets to chirp during the day, this is uncommon. One reason males chirp is to attract females like this female black field cricket.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cicadas offer their buzz during the day and the katydids chirp late at night. But, it’s the crickets that start sounding off in late afternoon. It’s only the male crickets that chirp, and they’re using that sounds to attract the females to mate.
Detailed explanation-3: -They use their courting sound mostly during the daytime in safe places when a female is near in hopes she is inspired to mate with them. Chirping at night is typically used to fend off potential threats.
Detailed explanation-4: -Crickets usually behave nocturnally and are most active at night. During the day, crickets typically find a dark, moist place to rest and hide from predators. The insects live in a variety of habitats, including fields, trees, burrows, caves and even garbage dumps.
