Answer:

One of the commonest questions asked about grasshoppers and crickets is how to tell them apart. There are a number of ways to tell if you're looking at a grasshopper or cricket:

The main difference between a grasshopper and a cricket is that crickets tend to have long antennae, grasshoppers have short antennae.

Crickets stridulate ("sing") by rubbing their wings together, while grasshoppers stridulate by rubbing their long hind legs against their wings.

Grasshoppers detect sound by means of little 'ears' at the base of their abdomen; in crickets these are on the front legs.

Most crickets are crepuscular (which means they come out at dusk) whereas grasshoppers tend to be out and about during the day.

Grasshoppers mostly eat grass, but crickets are partial to animal matter aswell.
