For the love of God - how much of a neat freak do you have be to actually wash your driveway on a regular basis (my neighbours arre freaks) & how environmentally unfriendly is it to waste water washing a driveway!!!!

"Crickets are known for their chirp (which only male crickets can do; male wings have ridges or "teeth" that act like a "comb and file" instrument). The left forewing has a thick rib (a modified vein) which bears 50 to 300 "teeth". The chirp is generated by raising their left forewing to a 45 degree angle and rubbing it against the upper hind edge of the right forewing, which has a thick scraper (Berenbaum 1995). This sound producing action is called "stridulation" and the song is species-specific. There are two types of cricket songs: a calling song and a courting song. The calling song attracts females and repels other males, and is fairly loud. The courting song is used when a female cricket is near, and is a very quiet song." And according to Dictionary.com... Chirp: 1. to make a characteristic short, sharp sound, as small birds and certain insects. Crickets annoy. According to Wikipedia they chirp and sing…
