Cricket
Crickets are found in fields, lawns and forests. They have a very broad range of habitat selection which can help them survive in many different environments. I believe this is a field cricket which would mean that it is omnivorous. They eat plant matter, fruits, and seeds. Because of their diet they can do real damage to agricultural crops and household products such as wool, cotton, silk, nylon and many other materials. They are mostly nocturnal, they feed at night and spend most of the day in warm dark places. They get eaten by most birds, red foxes, box turtles, american toads and other mammals and reptiles. They are very important to many ecosystems because they are agents in the decomposer community. They eat large amounts and poop out pellets that are easily decomposed by bacteria and fungi.
