    I think they're still around. I thought I heard them like two months ago... or maybe I was too drunk at the time. I probably wouldn't be the most reliable source.

    I've heard grasshoppers (heard one yesterday) but I wasn't even aware that there were crickets in Ireland.

    I'd normally associate them with warm nights in Spain or Portugal or The Canaries.

    Apparently some people buy them from pet shops and release them outside for the chirping.
    The're not native fauna to these parts tho.

    There won't be any 'nearly extinct' about it if I get my way.

    FFS, why would you lay down outside when you can listen to them on you tube?
