Which statement correctly describes the house cricket?

The house cricket is indeed characterized by its attraction to light and its long, pointed wings. This behavior is notable because house crickets are often found in homes and other structures, drawn to artificial lights, especially during the evening. Their long pointed wings are distinctive and serve primarily for sound production, which is a part of their mating calls.

Additionally, house crickets are typically tan or light brown rather than gray, and they have a somewhat slender, elongated body rather than a humped shape. Their wings, while not used for flight, are quite prominent and contribute to their identification. This understanding of their appearance and behavior is vital in differentiating them from other cricket species, which may not share the same affinity for light or physical characteristics.
