• If a cricket suddenly stops chirping, danger is close by.

• Crickets bring good luck to the entire family if they enter your home.

• Images of crickets on necklaces, bracelets, or paintings can ward off the evil eye.

• Killing a cricket, even if you killed it by accident is very very bad luck, so you had better not use them for fishing.

• The chirping of a cricket brings good luck to all that hear.
