Have you heard this tall tale about crickets and pin pointing the outside temperature?

Asked by _Whitetigress (4378points) August 8th, 2012

I was once read that in a 60 second time span, if you count the amount of chirps a cricket makes, that would equal the temperature outside. Probably read it in a kids life science magazine or something back in the 90s. Any truth to this?
