A genus of true crickets in the family Gryllidae, commonly including the house cricket and field crickets found across the world.
From Latin 'gryllus,' borrowed from Greek 'grýllos,' an onomatopoetic word that directly imitates the chirping sound of crickets.
The genus 'Gryllus' includes the black field cricket, which is so abundant that in some nights you might hear hundreds all singing at once—their combined noise was inspiring human music for millennia.
