[Larrysaelek]

Genus Acheta is a group of insects under the family Gryllidae, commonly referred to as house crickets. These insects are characterized by their round bodies, long antennas, and strong hind legs which allow them to jump. Species in this genus, such as the Acheta domesticus, are often found in homes and gardens, giving them the name house crickets. They have a distinctive chirping sound which is produced by rubbing their wings together.
