Jerusalem Crickets Only Date Drummers | Deep Look Video

With their big heads and beady black eyes, Jerusalem crickets aren’t winning any beauty contests. But that doesn’t stop them from finding mates. They use their bulbous bellies to serenade each other with some furious drumming.

This is another installment of the PBS Deep Look series; this installment is adapted from the “It’s OK to be Smart” series.
