Well, OK this is pushing it a bit in terms of being an earth science question, but the answer is somewhat related to the weather. We're all familiar with the chirping sound crickets make.
Crickets are perhaps the most musical of all of the insects.
In Japan and China, they're sometimes kept as musical pets. That's not a frequent practice here, but crickets have played a small role in our music. One day in about 1956, Buddy Holly and a few pals were jamming in his garage, and as they were trying to record some of their songs, a chirping sound in the background was picked up on the tape. A few years later, four mop-headed kids from Liverpool, England, who called themselves the Quarry Men, were looking for a new name for their band. Both ladybugs and crickets have long been signs of good luck.
