Jerusalem Crickets Only Date Drummers | Deep Look

- 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.

DEEP LOOK is an ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios. See the unseen at the very edge of our visible world. Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small.
Potato Bug. Child of the Earth. Old Bald-Headed Man. Skull Insects. Devil’s Baby. Spawn of Satan. There’s a fairly long list of imaginative nicknames that refer to Jerusalem crickets, those six-legged insects with eerily humanlike faces and prominent striped abdomens. And they can get quite large, too: Some measure over 3 inches long and weigh more than a mouse, so they can be quite unnerving if you see them crawling around in your backyard in summertime.
One individual who finds them compelling, and not creepy, has been studying Jerusalem crickets for over 40 years: David Weissman, a research associate in entomology affiliated with the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. He’s now considered the world’s foremost expert, since no one else has been as captivated or singlemindedly devoted to learning more about them.
While much of their general behavior is still not widely understood, Jerusalem crickets typically live solitary lives underground. They’ll emerge at night to scavenge for roots, tubers and smaller insects for their meals. And it’s also when they come out to serenade potential partners with a musical ritual: To attract a mate, adult crickets use their abdomens to drum the ground and generate low-frequency sound waves.
If a male begins drumming and a female senses the vibrations, she’ll respond with a longer drumming sequence so that he’ll have enough time to track her down. The drumming can vary between one beat every other second up to 40 beats per second.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
I get the joke but also. The reason why most animals dont stick around to their partner is for the lifegoal reproduce so you can make strong babies for the next generation
😂
@@audiusthegreatest6411 it’s a song, and yes- thanks, it was a joke!
"...But since they can't fly..."
Me: THANK GOODNESS
😂
🙏🙌
I thought the same thing when I saw one in my backyard 😂
They aren't even remotely aggressive, although they will bite if you pick them up.
How can something fly without wings?
Glad to know humans aren't the only species twerking in an attempt to attract a mate.
We also werent the first to last only 30 seconds in bed
Animals do it to ensure the survival of their species...humans on the other hand is nasty....
@@pichchoco7866 I mean, don't humans on a base biological level also do it to continue the survival of the species? We are animals after all.
@@JustYourAverageGirl2002 no, we are humans. Not everyone is an animal
@@tullo5564 I am assuming you are making a joke, but also humans are biologically animals. Unless you are identifying now as a plant.
2:33 Aww, they're so cute when they wAIT NO WHAT'S HAPPENING
Delicious snack
Dude I was thinking the same. Lol
@@rascalragdoll182 crunchy and juicy
“some grow three inches long-”
me: oh well that’s pretty big, but not THAT bad-
“-and weigh more than a mouse”
me: HOLUP
Bruh I know..it can stay there
I just read this and.. she just said it. “Some grow three inches long”
Ya their pretty scary I saw one at my house and was too scared to go near it
@@ckruxisadog I read YOUR comment as she said it. What were the freaking chances?
Three inches is pretty big tho 😅
Why does it sound like that running sound in the flintstones
Thats what i thought too. Haha.
YABBA DABBA DOOOO
OMG you're right!!
i just wanted to ask if its just me haha
It does omg 😂
"I discovered this new species but can't think of a name?"
"Describe it to me."
"Kinda looks like a big ant and they are native to North America."
"Jerusalem cricket"
"Perfect"
lol 😂😂👌
Hahaha
Lol 😂
Etymology 100
Hahahahaha
Lol
Me and my lil brother found one of these when we were little in the backyard, we thought it was an ant queen so we made it a fortress.
Omg, that is sooo cute. 😄💕
Fortress yup cute
Did you give it the keys to exit the gates whenever they wanted?
i love that lol
I'm shocked this species managed to survive since they are so loud and create vibrations they're easy prey for predators
That was my first thought. Now I know how to hunt for them.
Remember that Loren said these bugs have vibration-sensitive receptors in their legs?Seismic sense is technically listening and seeing with the feet.So they can sense the predators far away,and then stop drumming.
Idk man crickets and cicadas have done pretty well for themselves I think.
i mean many animals do loud sounds, peacocks even have that tail that can easily attract carnivores and they might not even see them ambushing to eat them
As a drummer I approve this message
😂😂😂
So slim shady gave up the rap career(never mind he change his pp
You must be the cricket ladies' man 😁
As a fellow drummer, I can approve this approval
Fucken poser bro
2:56 we just witnessed a bug nutting. This is the future people
That was a big load too.
@@martiallife4136 Lol
So they are like us
@@premierprendergast757 yes I bite the legs of other females and just nut on impact
Yaw!
The mating was the most disgusting thing I've ever witnessed
It made me nut.

Loved this video!
I'm overwhelmed to see this channel, all the videos are exquisite, brief, quantified and non corporate. This should be the standard of world class videos. Respect

I just LOVE this channel. I learn SO much but its not long and boring. This has become one of my top 2 channels quickly
"Then, they're off again."
Oh so basically players.
The female twerks to find a mate.
Are we bugs?

Some people yes.
Depends on who you ask...
Except they don't kill their young.

Oh, my school called them Gopher bugs or thicc cricks.
*thicc cricks*
Skippy Dinglechalk: I’m introducing “thicc cricks” to my school as the bug guy.
This video really helped me. Ever since my friend showed me an Elephant Beetle in a box (somehow found at his dad's music store in California) and seeing these, usually dead, Jerusalem crickets around my grandparent's pool as a kid, the intrusive thoughts and creeps are sometimes more than annoying.
2:43 IS THAT TWO F*ING CRICKETS 69ING?!!
Nobody:

Oh hey people actually recognize this band? I thought I was being a good hipster but I guess I'm way too mainstream
i hate this band but i am noticing you senpai
1:20 the sound thats made by scooby-doo gang when they run after seeing a ghost😂😂😂😂
A lifespan of a year. These creatures are so adorable, I've never seen one but I can tell they are.
In Bulgaria we call them Priestpigs
My best friend is from Bulgaria.
Поповото прасе е съвсем отделен вид. Провери в Уикипедия! (радвам се че и други българи гледат този канал:))
Interesting that you have another name for them when there aren't any even indigenous to the area. Are you sure they aren't a different genus of stenopalmetidae? Maybe oryctopus?
@@lolguy776 Yes they are a different species. That guy is wrong
@@lolguy776 They are even a different genus from the "Priest's pig" which is in Bulgaria
They can weight more than a mouse
That is scary...
supersoslox your going to need a BIG boot to squash them... 😂😂
@@Dronkey64 I heard someone say that they scream if you squash them,not sure if he was serious.
Hence potato bug??
@@Dronkey64 Their numbers are decreasing incredibly fast because of humans like you
Im scared
Whole new meaning to twerking!😂😄❤
"Los Gatos, *California"*
Me: Aight, I'ma head out
Twerking was inspired from this , wow
Found some of these little guys around my yard. I love them, they're adorable and also freak out everyone I show them to. Especially my mom, hahaha.
You are a brave person I salute you
They are cute 😍
I'd never go near you If you showed me one. They freak me out
@BrainEatingApe You're pulling my leg...
Here in Mexico they are known as Cara de Niño or Child's Face. Lovely little insects, although their bite hurts a lot.
😎👍
Please do a video on mole crickets soon. I have always been interested in these creatures and would love a deep look into their behaviours! Keep up the videos and good work!
1:29 Thats twrking
2:34 Thats hard-core

I'm sorry you had to witness be that, Shuichi.
I immediately thought of the Flintstones when I heard the drumming.
Why does this channel don't get millions subscriber, i mean they deserve billions. What the heck with those people who wasting their time watching unvaluable content while there is such a great thing like this? Love your work @Deep Look😘😘
You want them to witness a bug *NUTTING*

@@bellakatherman1477 Then the earth is in big trouble.

Me: I hear someone's phone vibrating...
mom: what are you watching
me: i'm watching twerking crickets xD
*_The first time I ever saw one of these, I was out walking in the fields of the cattle ranch I worked on. I called to my mom who was a short walk away and told her to keep an eye on it so I could walk the 1/2 mile trail back up to the house to grab something to put it so I could really check it out and take some photos of it._*

I saw one of these a week ago, had never seen one before. Was chilling near the street when I took my trash cans out. Clicked the video to see what it was.
Deep look: there not crickets and there not from jerusalem

And now we know how they really made that sound
Ya da do
These crickets indeed do ROCK.
Keep up your great work Lauren !! Liked and subscribed your channel..
Yo! It’s a twerking bug!
The first time in my life I know about the existence of an insect call Jerusalem cricket. They are really interesting creatures. Thanks Deep Looks!
Well at least you didnt discover it while going to a Disney motel while it was 12 am in the morning and you think you saw a face hugger's legg but in the morning you see that it was a giant hand sized cricket with legs almost twice its body... I do believe its called a giant weta ( what I saw)
Go ahead search it up, just imagine walking on a sidewalk with a flash light and seeing those two giant legs before it went into the Bush on the left side of the side walk.... you would think it was a alien

As far as insects go, this is probably as romantic as it gets, because no one gets eaten.
Ugh, so adorable when they found each other 😍😍😍
Bugs can twerk better than me... edit: 2:56 MY EYES, BUGS CAN NUT?
B what tf
I have seen this in person out in colorado and it's scary when you don't know what this big bug in your tent is.

Me: _well im also a drummer myself_
I can't express how much I love this channel! Keep up the good work and spreading the wonders of the microworld!
Its remarkable how the film crew were able to capture the drumming sounds. Amazing attention to detail... 👍👍👍
This bug lives up to the phrase “shake what ya mama gave ya”
THEY ARE ADORABLE!
Love your videos I love learning about these things ♥️
What I’ve learned from this video is that insect mating isn’t much different than human mating...🤔😂😂🤷🏻♀️
Yes all body cells are same in every animals from non vertebrate to vertebrate animals.and also we are also animals like them first but after then we educate ,learn, curiosity make our human place superior than other animal.all animals are doing mating to continue life on earth , without it no life will exist.
Also I watch you in school computer books and you really know a lot
