Crickets, like all other insects, are cold-blooded. They take on the
temperature of their surroundings. You better hug this one then. For every one of the
RSPB insects adopted from Electronic Pet Shop a percentage of the profit goes to the
Royal
Society of the protection of Birds (RSPB) charity to help monitor and protect
vulnerable and endangered birds.
Many characteristics of cold-blooded animals, like the rate at which crickets
chirp, or the speed at which ants walk, follow a special equation. For instance,
crickets, like all other organisms, have many chemical reactions occurring
within their bodies. As the temperature rises, it becomes easier to reach a
certain activation or threshold energy, and chemical reactions, like those that
occur during the muscle contractions used to produce chirping, happen more
rapidly. As the temperature falls, the rate of chemical reactions inside the
crickets' bodies slow down, causing characteristics, such as chirping, to also
slow down. Well, that's enough science for now... and you were here for fun?
Well that's just not cricket, is it.
The RSPB Cricket Bug Plush with real Buzzzz is much bigger than a normal
cricket! To activate the bug buzz, just squeeze! As with every pet
adopted at Electronic Pet Shop, the RSPB Cricket Plush comes with it's own personalised adoption package.
