Is the UK one of the few countries where you can't hear insects at night?

Question

Pretty much everytime I've been abroad a country has 'night noise'. This is normally the sound of insects doing mating calls. I've heard this 'night noise in

France

Portugal

Australia

Thailand

Greece

Spain

Zimbabwe

which leads me to believe it's in more countries than it isn't. Does everyone know what i'm on about.....that background chorus of insect noises you get in foreign countries at night.

Answer 1

You have obviously never been outside on a summer night in England. You can't hear yourself think for the racket the crickets make!

Answer 2

You can hear some crickets in England, if you listen close enough. But they're usually too pissed off at the weather and don't bother to do it properly. I've even heard some of them have been moving to Spain!

Answer 3

Every country on this earth has crickets, INCLUDING ENGLAND.!!
