do crickets fly?

Answers:
It depends on the species. Adult crickets do in fact have wings. They are the thinner than paper, and tucked under the hard covering that they use to chirp with.

The species you get from pet shops to feed lizards are Acheta domesticus (pictures at http://buzz.ifas.ufl.edu/487a.htm. ). They only jump.

If you throw an adult Gryllus bimaculatus (a larger, black-coloured cricket; pictures at http://www.biology.tohoku.ac.jp/lab-www/. ) like you would pass a ball to someone, it may open up its wings and fly a short distance. But not all of them do it.

If you've ever handled a cricket, you'll know their wings come off very easily. The males fight for the best singing spot to get mates.

Crickets like grasshoppers have paper-thin wings that they can use to aid in transportation but they cannot fly for a specific amount of time.
