Hi, I'm Seymore! This is my page, here, you can learn about the Snowy Tree Cricket.

How to Identify Them: Like most other tree crickets, snowy tree crickets have slender bodies, long, hair-like antennae, and are pale green in color. They are usually found on bushes and trees. Males have broad, clear wings; females wings are narrower and are held tightly against their bodies. Snowy tree crickets measure 15-18 mm (~3/4 inch) from the tip of the head to the tip of the abdomen. Several other tree cricket species look very similar to the snowy tree cricket, including the narrow winged tree cricket, the black-horned tree cricket, and Davis’ tree cricket. To distinguish the snowy tree cricket from other species, look at the first two segments at the base of the cricket’s antennae. Under a magnifying glass or dissecting microscope, you can see black markings. Snowy tree crickets have one round, black spot on the first segment and one on the second segment. Probably the easiest way to identify a tree cricket is by its very distinctive song. The snowy tree cricket is also known as the “thermometer cricket” because its chirping can be used to tell the temperature. To find the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, count the number of chirps in 15 seconds and then add 40.
