Crickets are much more active in warmer seasons and areas. They're attracted to warm, dry kitchens, fireplaces and utility areas. Known for their musical ability and chirping song, crickets are fond of liquids, including beer and vinegar. They're also equipped with strong hind legs for hopping and composing sound via vibration. Their antennae have multiple segments.
Earwigs reside in dark moist cracks beneath stones, wood and debris.
This small, wingless insect was responsible for transmission of the devastating bubonic plague of the Middle Ages. They're found throughout the world, with the cat flea being the biggest concern for humans and pets. The body is covered with spines that project backward and they have several segments and three pairs of legs, which contributes to the flea's excellent jumping ability. The typical house fly is gray with thin, transparent wings. Females are usually larger than males.
